Hi!

I love shapr3D and produce new designs regularly.  
Unfortunately they are not organized at all whereas they clearly can be grouped by theme.  
I don’t want to group them using the macOS Finder or the iCloud drive. I want shapr3D UI to do it!

I really would like to be able to group some of the designs in a what appears like a folder in the UI.  
Look at this mess:

I’ve seen several other old posts in the folder… but well… they are years or 6 months old and not real solution from shapr3D, so I decided to post another topic about this… just to show there clearly is interest.  
Thanks

I have the same question. Using the software for 5days now, I already created 20 designs. I need to catalog them somehow. Need folder structure please

In the mean time, create folders within Files, Dropbox, or whatever you use. Save your designs there. I have hundreds of designs. Each design has a folder with components, revisions of the design, etc. You can then import those elements into other designs.
