I’ve used Shapr3D now for a few days. I am a hobbyist. I like to be able to communicate things I want built to people I hire to build them. (Like decks, and kitchens.) This is a novice’s feedback. Things I’d like to see better supported:
Text
Layers
Selection (rubber-band, encompass) (I realize this is easier in 2-D)
Measurements (without having to draw a line)
Angles (draw a line at a specific angle to another line on a plane)
Overall, I’d say the app is awesome. It could be that the list above is supported in whole or in part and I’m just not savvy enough to find it. If so, tell me how. (In the past I’ve used SketchUp, but it doesn’t work on an iPad, and I don’t want to use a browser.)
Layers, as defined by major Software Providers do not exist within S3D at present, Folders within Items are very useful.
Lasso Selection, bear in mind that a Sketch and any Sketch added to it resides on a Single Plane.
Search for Lasso [and other similar terms].
This is one result:
I would like to be able to measure the distance between two edges. I haven’t found a way to do that short of drawing a line.
Before I learned that I could draw a multi-sided polygon (other than the 4 provided in the menu) I tried to create one by hand, but could not figure out how to set the angle of the lines to 135º when I drew them. Sometimes if I selected two lines, it would show me the angle measurements, but most often it did not. I could not figure out why it didn’t always. Can you point me to a tutorial or a place where you show how to do that?
Related, when I created an octagon, planning to turn it into a 12-sided polygon, the web page that I read on that topic said I could always change the number of sides. I found that if I wanted to set the size of the polygon while drawing it, the label that allows me to define the number of sides disappears and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back, so I had to set number of sides first. Then I found that I couldn’t change the size of the polygon after I’d made it 12-sided.
Thanks for answering.
