yes ,for sure, a super-program...
very stable even if it's beta and it offers a very nice and "fast" UI.
it's simply great i love it!
a picture of what i'm modeling with it now...



now some question
- isocurve extraction and splitting
-array
when will be ready? v1?
and a personal suggestion...
when you draw a curve you have to click the button "done" is possible to have intstead to press "enter" on yout keyboard?

Very cool, Giulio! I can't wait to see more of the model as you make progress.

Have you been using it with a tablet? Do the zoom/pan/rotate tools at the bottom of the viewport work ok for you? I have been wondering if they are too sensitive.

Have you tried opening this file in Rhino? Any problems going back and forth?


> now some question

I should be able to add iso curve splitting and array pretty soon, maybe in about a week or so.. It might take a while longer for isocurve extraction, I'm not quite sure where to put it in the UI, I've been trying to avoid technical NURBS terminology as much as possible. I'll have to think about where to put it.


> when will be ready? v1?

I don't have an exact date, but I think maybe 6 or 7 months from now.

This one I should be able to add quite easily, I will put it in for the next beta which I hope to release tomorrow. You can also right-click right now to do the same thing.

Thanks so much for the feedback and the screenshot!

> for the isocurve extraction i suggest to put it in the draw curve section...

I was thinking maybe about having a Curve button inside the "Construct" section, it could have extract isocurve and it might be a good place to also have some other curve generation tools like contour lines and section-cut lines.

I kind of think of the Draw Curve section as place where you create something brand new, only from mouse clicks.

The construct section is for things that involve building things using existing objects in some way, like creating an extrude from an existing curve.

Since the isocurve comes from an existing surface, it sort of feels like a "construct" one to me.

I have had a problem thinking of where to put contour and section-cut curve tools, so it seems like this could work for all of those in one spot. Maybe project curve to surface too.


> yes i've been using it ONLY with a tablet!

Please let me know if there is anything that doesn't feel comfortable!

workflow is great..!

but i'm having a problem with this scene (attached)

if i create a surface using a 2 railed sweep it makes an horrid surface in moi -in rhino instead it comes out perfect!

the rails are the 2 longer curves....

Hmm, yeah I see a couple of different problems there.

I was able to tune up one thing that helped reduce the bumps near the middle, but there is still some additional work to make it work better overall. I've added this to my list of stuff to fix up, but I probably won't get a chance to work more on it until some of the more basic stuff (array, units, background images, ...) is wrapped up.

You'll probably run into other problems like this, when you do please send me the file just like you did here. When I do work on this area more in depth, having examples like this really helps a lot.

any info on the future relase??not the v.1 but some new betas!

Almost ready...

This one won't have too much stuff, though - it has x/y axes on the grid so you can more easily see the origin. There is also an origin snap point, and pushing enter is the same as "done" like you were asking about, then there are a bunch of small bug fixes.

I'll try to get it out this evening.

very nice...
can't wait..!
