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. Hello, Shapr3d works great with any Apple Pencil compatible iPad and we usually recommend the iPad Pro. Waaaaay back then, I was still using a massive desktop for major CAD tasks. 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. But if that's not for you, you can use a keyboard with mouse or trackpad. For the best experience on your iPad, we recommend using an Apple Pencil. An Apple Pencil is required for using all Shapr3D features. Shapr3D is available for iPad, Mac, and Windows. 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. 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. I’ve created about 20 objects over the last few days. 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. Shapr3D develops a 3D modelling CAD mobile application that runs on an iPad Pro and can be operated using an Apple Pencil enabling modelling anytime. The use of the apple pencil makes everything easy and good to use.' 'It has the best integration with its counterparts such as Fusion 360, Rhino and various competitive solutions. 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.
