I have a smaller computer now, and a small mobile laptop capable of running any 3D CAD software, but I’ve already planned to purchase an iPad Pro and Shapr3D is the first app I will install. Waaaaay back then, I was still using a massive desktop for major CAD tasks. Yes, you need an iPad pro with an apple pencil to be able to create shapes in Shapr. iMovie is not comparable at all because it was released in 2010, not 2022. Just like simple features of iPadOS 16 like display scaling are exclusive to M1 iPads. All rights reserved. When I bought a 1st-gen iPad in 2010, my first thoughts turned to the possibilities of using 3D CAD on the super mobile, touch-screen device. If Apple were to buy DaVinci, Resolve wouldn’t be available on the 2018 iPad Pro. 01 Shapr3D is a new and powerful product design and CAD tool exclusively for the Apple iPad Pro with Apple Pencil as the required input device. An Apple Pencil is required for using all Shapr3D features. Shapr3D 2.0 is currently available on the iTunes App Store as a free download with in-app subscription purchase options: Shapr3D ($19/month), Shapr3D PRO ($99/year) and Shapr3D EDU (Free). Native CAD formats have not been added, but you can export as .STEP and. Walter Foster has been the leading publisher of quality art instruction guides for more than 85 years. New in-app tutorial videos have also been added.

I haven’t been successful with either of those so far.Along with all of this, they’ve redesigned how layers and groups work and have improved the extrusion method by allowing a sketch, shape or face to be pulled directly. My next endeavor is trying to figure out how to add details on the face of an extruded object to “decorate it” and also figure out how to link and attach text to my objects. The app offers a quick and precise way to create solid models from simple sketches in minutes. I’ve created about 20 objects over the last few days. Shapr3D is the very first professional 3D modeling app for iPad and Apple Pencil, with its macOS and Windows versions also available for their users. Given your advice about stalking the solid object I may go back now and make sure the measurements are precise.

I found that I needed to zoom in to 0.5mm to ensure the scaling was matching up exactly. He told me to draw a rectangle with the measurements I needed and then scale my object within the rectangle. Jozsef helped me through email on the resizing. I’ve learned how to edit through trial and error too. At some points I ended up deleting half of the sketch and mirroring it again.

I’ve had objects that wouldn’t extrude and I soon realized it was because it wasn’t closed but was nearly undetectable to the naked eye. I have learned so much over the past few days.
