Question: The "BindType" that allows the bodies to transform together like you did at time-marker 9:20 is no longer there or has been named something else with the latest update. I was wondering if you knew how to do this similar effect, where you can bind things to transform/change together, in the new version?
Scaling is not working with the legs. When I go to extrusion 1 and change the depth the legs deform and start to break apart. It also undoes the joinery on the legs and cross member. It does the same thing when going to sketch one and changing over all length. I have gone back 3 times and followed step by step to make sure I did everything in the video and get the same results every time. Not really sure what I’m doing wrong.
So excited about this update. Playing with the beta right now. Do you think they'll introduce variables (or have they, and I haven't found it)? As in, defining a variable and then setting dimensions to that variable so that changes to the variable affects all dimensions to which that variable is assigned. I love the UI in Shapr3D but I haven't been able to move from Fusion360 because that ability to define and easily change variables is so critical. If a client says "I want it about 3 feet longer..." I don't want to have to go in and manually change all the objects that affect that overall length individually. There can also be dimensions that are meant to be proportional to the overall length, and I'd have to go and recalculate and change all those dimensions manually as well. With Fusion360, I can create a spreadsheet with a bunch of variables. I can set one variable (Overall_Length) to 5 ft. Set another variable to half of that first variable. Then, if I have to change the overall length because the client requests it, I just change that one variable and all variables that are dependent on it and all dimensions that reference it will automatically update. If Shapr3D can implement that, I will never look back.
Well man! Big fan. I was wonding if you could help me? Im looking at getting a Ipad pro and convering from fusion360 to this shaper3D crack. i want to get a refurbished I Pad and im wondering How important is Ram ?
Ram seems only important if you’re dealing with large sketches. But for what I do, even an iPad Air can handle it fine. When I’m talking about large sketches, I’m talking about hundreds of lines in a single sketch
I am struggling on the iPad following this but things are not going well. Things lock or unluck, will or wont let me edit sizes… frustrating as hell. 😮4 hours so far just to draw a pantry…my god i am pulling my hair out. All i have managed is 1 rectangle. How do I turn off the annoying graphic of the pencil? Everytime i use it it visually gets in the way
Thanks! It’s hard to say which is better. Once I got the spacemouse, modeling on the desktop is much more enjoyable. But I still like being able to model on the iPad because I can do it anywhere and it’s much faster
@@BevelishCreations thanks for the reply. I dont have much experience in modeling. I am getting into cabinetry, mainly kitchens. I've used mozaik and sketchup for a bit
I hope my videos can help you. If you’re not super deep into SketchUp yet, I recommend giving Shapr3D a shot. The reason I say that is because the modeling techniques are completely different between the two programs, because SketchUp runs on a different type of modeling algorithm (for a lack of a better word).
I’m not sure. I think some other people had the same problem but they fixed it after they asked on the Shapr3D Facebook group. Try to see if they can help you out
Thanks Alex, your video is quite illustrative on parametric modeling. Sounds little complicated, but I will use your guidance to get a better knowledge on this new method. Please keep making such high quality videos. Keep well.
I think i have to stop watching this video and find a video about setting up the application itself from scratch,, many settings can't find and i am using iPad! I am missing basicas, but your explanation is very good.. thanks
I love shapr3d. It reminds me so much of the CAD program I started on, I-DEAS. The one thing I wish they would do is allow you to buy the program outright instead of paying monthly/yearly to get the full program contents.
Yeah but they update the program every 2 weeks with new tools and functions. I think if they let you buy the program outright, it’ll be out of date pretty quick, even if they do let you update everytime for one or two years
@@BevelishCreationsthis basically means I'm subscribed to an unfinished product. That's a worse excuse to why they make us pay a monthly fee than to pay once
@@AlbaderBohamad how is it an unfinished product? Every program goes through updates. Some programs just prefer to lump all the updates into one yearly update, whereas this program gives updates every 2 weeks
@@alexfang5661 a product is basically a project. And in theory no project ever is completed. Instead they get abandoned. So the debate is whether the customer should pay monthly for updates he didn't ask for or not. I stand by the idea of not having to pay monthly because the company that made the software wants to keep updating it. Because I paid for a product that I already like. Not a product that I'll like after a few more updates
@@AlbaderBohamadI understand what you mean. I wasn’t saying the product is want good enough though. I’ve been using it for years and it had always been my favorite CAD program. They just kept making it better

Did Shapr3D finally introduce the ability to duplicate an object several times, and make all of them as a single "component" i.e. various occurrences of the exact same object, meaning that if one makes the slightest change to an occurence, that modification is propagated instantly to all other duplicated occurrences of that component? This is available in almost all CAD softwares but is conspicuously absent from Shapr3D. They claimed that such a feature would require a new software built on a History-Based Parametric Modeling engine. Which is precisely what they've done under the hood with this upcoming brand new version.
@@BevelishCreations Good news, but I looked at the Shapr3D beta and fail to see how to create instances of components anywhere. Same thing on the Shapr3D Discourse forum where their team said that it is achievable in the beta using the Copy or Pattern tools, without actually showing how. Do you know an article or tutorial explaining this?
@fluxcapacitor when you talk about “instances and components”, I’m guessing you mean how to update multiple parts at the same time? That’s what my tutorial showed how to do it. The way parametric modeling works is by copying and pasting it, and then make adjustments in the history timeline, not to the part itself
@@BevelishCreations Ok, I see. When I am talking of "instances of components", I am talking like in my first post above of making a particular object as a component, i.e. when I duplicate this component X times, any manual modification done to one of its occurrences will modify all the others at the same time accordingly, because they are in fact the exact same object and not independent copies. Like Components in Macromedia/Adobe Flash if you remember. For example, imagine you draw a little pole on the edge of a flat disk that you copy say, 100 times with the pattern tool, like nails distributed at the rim of a circular mirror. If you want to make additional modification to the design of that pole, for example a chamfer, you have to do it manually 100 times in a row in Shapr3D. That's preposterous. However, I understand that now with the History feature you can go back, make the desired modification to the first pole, then duplicate it again a hundred times with the Pattern tool again. But a true component would be so much easier in this case! In your video here, the way you play with constrained adjustments in the timeline to make a particular model "responsive" to further modifications makes sense; however in the case of separate distant objects, I find this way of doing things particularly cumbersome with respect to a simple button "make component" that still doesn't exist even in the HBPM beta sadly.
@fluxcapacitor yeah I see what you’re talking about. With parametric modeling, everything is connected based on mathematical parameters that we set. So when we make updates to one part, the matching part will update, but so will the rest of the model. Which makes it much quicker and efficient than simply updating the matching parts alone. So for example, with a box. If we use “instance and components” to update the box side panels, only the side panels will update. You’ll still have to update the top/bottom panels. Whereas with parametric modeling, one change will update all panels. Yes, the initial setup is more complicated, but it will make updating much quicker
A great video Alex. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks!

Is there an extension or plug for creating cut lists, similar to what you can get in SketchUp.
No there isn’t
Not having cutlist is a deal breaker for me. I extensively use opencutlist extension in sketchup.
At the very least it should have dxf export of sheet goods so i can use third party apps for cutlist.
@Z-add what kind of projects are you making? I usually prefer making my own cutting diagrams. Even when I used Sketchup, I never liked the plugins
