Thank you so much again for this tutorial Claas! I will continue with part 2 immediately 🙂

[@genlieremeno]

Thanks for the upload. It would be amazing if Claas could make more in-depth complicated Jewelry tutorials!

[@silkeschoch3039]

Freudentanz 😁 Thanks for this tutorial. I am a absolute beginner and sometimes have problems to understand the English some people talk. Here it is no problem.

[@cekuhnen]

Must be my German accent in my English ! Klasse das Dir das Video hilft!

THIS IS THE BEST 3D MODELING SOFTWARE EVEEEERRR

[@jamesmyers2087]

I am going through all your tutorials. They’re great! But, I’m getting stuck on this one where we’re trying to reposition the spline down to make more straight pouring surface before the spout. It simply cannot be grabbed to move. It will also cause the recess between bucket halves to disappear as if I’ve deleted the loft. Help me Obi Wan!

[@sapperlotify]

Great instructions!
How can I activate the history?

[@Shapr3d]

Hello - currently it is in Beta. You can download it here: www.shapr3d.com/download/beta

[@sapperlotify]

Many thanks for the link!
I'm looking forward to parametric modelling :)

I have designed at least 10 complex items I’ll never use with these tutorials, yet I can’t see how they translate to what I’m trying to do with the program. I’m assuming different CAD programs work better for some than others… I got this one for the iPad functionality, but I find it unintuitive and frustrating 🤷‍♂️

[@RobertoColi]

I took it originally on the iPad with pencil because for me was very intuitive and I was able to draw complex objects from scratch with a learning curve of few hours. Now the app is evolving and the more functionalities they add, the more complicated it become and we need to remember everything.
@shapr3d Lots of time I use it to design objects that should interact with already existing objects, and that start the difficulties.
It would be nice to have some tutorials on how to design objects that fit/interact with other objects. The bloody world where you have to create a mechanical 3d part that should fit with with another existing part and you don't have any drawing quote or 3D cad object of the existing mechanical object except the object itself. Then the nightmare starts.
- What is the best approach when you don't have the other real 3D model ?
I would like to see a tutorial either approaching a 3D Scan and the existing object, show how to import the scanned object in Shapr3D and then create the fit object around it.
Another tutorial I would like to see would be how to create the design of an existing complex object not scanned. Some time, the shape, the color, the size, prevent the object to be 3D scanned, and then you have to design it from scratch in shapr3D.
What are the rules for taking the exact measures, how to deal with irregular shapes where is very difficult to take the correct measure with a calliper or the the correct angle.
