I have canceled my grandfathered subscription. Done in September.
Too many problems. Naming SOME.
Selection issues: If not accurate within a pixel of selecting anything it jumps to sketch mode; No intuitive selections, jumps to sketch mode (e.g. If I have selected shell tool, accidentally selecting an edge jumps me to SKETCH MODE! I’M IN SHELL MODE!!! FACES ONLY IGNORE EDGES! SHELL MODE!). This behavior happens in ALL tools not related to SKETCH MODE!!! I didn’t select a tool to have Shapr assume I want to be in SKETCH MODE when I click on anything for any reason! #1 productivity KILLER!
Tool interface is a mess! circle, rectangle, polygon should be 1 menu item that can fly out for circle etc… The rectangle and at the top where it says “Rectangle”? That is where the rectangle option changes should take place right there with the instruction on how to make a “rectangle”. SO many more items could be reduced the same way. It’s a mess! #2 productivity KILLER. Searching for menu items in a menu that dynamically changes because you can’t show it all at once.
Cannot constrain views to rotate or pan around an object in X/ Y/ Z selectively, accurately I have a keyboard and a touch screen and touch pad (Not a space mouse) with no accurate way to work pan around my design. Productivity KILLER!
Cannot loft a hollow body from one sketch to the next. Shell command is not always the answer!
No fillets/ chamfers in sketch mode. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Productivity KILLER.
Scale cannot select 2 dimensions at once… really? I cannot scale x and y at the same time??? WHY??? WHY???
I was trying to get a design done and on my printer before I left home, instead I am writing this.
Your yearly subscription? Well I have Plasticity. Paid for and available at no further cost to me for as long as I want. I can pay more to get more IF the upgrade is worth it. And so far they are ROCKING the upgrades! Time to knuckle down, finish a few Shapr designs and MOVE ON!
i just got done with my free trial, it was a nice experience. i really miss being able to export to usdz, and not having the visualisation popup all the time.
this program is pretty cheap for what we receive in my opinion, but i can’t bring myself to pay for it just to export. i think being locked out of high quality formats is.. modern greed i guess, sorta rude. paying a monthly fee just to have access to the high quality version of something you poured weeks into is… uhmm… I dunno. i can understand the visualisation being a premium feature, but the exporting formats? hmm
subscriptions are the norm.. but i wish i could pay a one time payment for additional features that i am going to utilize. export bundle: $60. visualisation bundle: $60. ooorrr maybe you just have a one time payment of some hundred dollars.. unlocks it all. whatever.
Selecting an edge while using tools like Shell should not trigger sketch mode. If you experience this issue, please share a screen recording and submit a support request for further assistance.
You can isolate any body of your choice and rotate around it using the keyboard shortcut:
MacOS: cmd + Up/Down/Left/Right
Windows:Ctrl + Shift + Up/Down/Left/Right
This is a commonly requested feature, and it’s already on our roadmap. We’re actively working on it, and while we can’t share a release date yet, it’s definitely under development.
I’ve been down this road. Done. Missing a selection minutely, jumping into sketch was told a “feature”. Holding the X Y or Z key while panning to constrain rotation planes should be a thing without isolation. Plasticity just has so much more to offer.
I want to disable going into sketch automatically from anywhere. Please allow this feature as there are many workflows that do not involve sketching and it would be great to toggle it off while working this way. It can be on by default since that’s what you believe is better but please let me turn it off.
