Hello,

In my experience MoI is a great primary tool that can be augmented by other specialty applications and plugins. I've found MoI to be a valuable learning tool as well as a modeling tool. Because the features in MoI are very accessible I've been able to view how others model in different applications and think about strategies to approach a similar model in MoI. When I determine an operation is too time consuming or unavailable in MoI I switch into a package that will allow me to complete a step with a more optimal result in less time. I haven't found another application like MoI that allows me to so easily mimic an effective workflow done in another design program, for me that' a really big deal.

MoI being an accessible entry to CAD is just a side-effect of an overall non intrusive user experience that fosters on the fly concepting and flow, in my opinion. That's a much greater value than training wheels, at least for illustrators and concept artists that use 3D to get imagery. MoI's fluidity allows for a state very close to the one I get during painting, but that is just a very biased opinion of someone that started CAD with MoI and is not looking to build real things.

MoI - Moment of Inspiration - only these three words perfect characterise target use of this amazing piece of software. In my opinion MoI doesn't aspire to be a competitor of Solid Works, although MoI offers more than enough utilities for designers, digital artists or even for Startup companies that needs CAD software for their projects.

MoI allows quick concept design in right time - in fleeting "moment of inspiration" and this is it. IMHO MoI offers more than only quick concept design, MoI is accurate enough as well, so that project to be switched from idea into real product. It would be nice of course to have in MoI grouping, instancing, modules for parts assembling, metal sheet bending, technical documentation, work flow history with possibility to change parts, but then we talk about Solid Works :-)

Ciao

Seems you have all that in Fusion 360 but maybe without the pleasure to do ... ;)
