I’m on tutorial one and after I draw the 30mm X 40mm triangle none of the following steps are functioning correctly. Such as when I click on the triangles side the “make construction” option is supposed to be available but isn’t. Then the tutorial goes one to say to select the three circles it has the user draw by holding shift and click the circles that option won’t work. So forth and so on. So far I’ve tried to reinstall but to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am also stuck, Tutorial 7, Hover over and hit spacebar. It zooms to the sketch plane, but will not allow me to continue. On Mac and Ipad….

You mean step 7 i guess. Tried several times and have no problem with it. You can try to click on a face (not just hover) then hit spacebar. Or if you have AnyDesk installed I can show you how to deal with it.

Thanks Xdrakosha,  
Correct, I am referring to Step 7. I did try clicking on a face, then hitting space. Interestingly, I was able to assess the app on the iPad without completing the tutorial, and the function in step 7 worked fine.  
I am on build Shapr3D-5.930.0.9346.dmg  
Looks like the support team has given me access,  
Thanks again for the reply Xdrakosha 🙏
