First off I would like to apologize if this question has already been asked and I missed it. I work as an architect but I am into 3D printing and model building as a hobbyist. How do I switch between the Shapr3D industrial design platform and the architectural platform? Is that possible? If so, Do I need to buy a license for each or just one? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi!

There are no different platforms in the app, the UI and all the tools available are the same. 🙂 It only affects the onboarding process in iPads. They teach the same actions, just on different models fit to the selected group.

Could he be referring to the measurement units? If that is the case, you tap on the units in the upper corner, and then select architectural dimensions.

Oh, yea, that might also be true, thanks!
