Hey all, just sharing a model I made in 30 minutes. I haven't quite figured out texturing yet, so for now I just upload a screenshot to Gemini and ask it to create a colored image of it.

visible edges on mesh

quick question:
is there any way to show the edges on imported meshes?

I was looking through the documentation and the subreddit but I can't seem to find any way.

Plasticity… Help!

Hi everyone, does anyone have an idea how I can get my geometry in Plasticity to look exactly like the one in the other attached image? I just can't seem to manage it.

Plasticity, Rhino, or Fusion 360?!

Hey everyone! I’m looking to take my watch designs into the 3d CAD world in order to get some realistic renders and manufacturing specs if I do decide to actually make some. I’ve been a professional designer for 12 years, but my design work has been mostly two dimensional.

Before I invest a lot of time learning some modeling software, I’m trying to vet the best one. Anybody have any guidance or pointers here?

I’ve started playing with Plasticity already and it’s pretty simple and more similar to other design tools I’ve used in the past.

Thanks in advance!

Undo Extruded Imprints

Ok so am new to Plasticity and set myself a challenge of modelling a wrist watch. Essentially i went about creating linework for the numbers and then imprinted these onto the sloped bezel, but now realise i am not 100% happy with my placement (numbers are not exactly spaced between the circles as they should be. Second screenshot shows how these imprinted faces have been pushed in and in some cases beveled. What are my options at this point to slightly rotate? or even to get to a point where i can remove the faces/lines and reimprint from scratch.

Would Plasticity work for modelling organic shapes with lattice pattern /holes arrays cutouts?

Hi

I would to be able to make and print form fitting models like in the image that are built on top of 3D scans, and that have patterns of holes in them like these various lattices and circular holes. I know that Rhino would be a good choice but i dont want to spend £1000 if i can help it (though i dont mind spending some money if necessary), and i am not sure how well blender would work with so many booleans when it came time to turn it into 3d geometry. Would Plasticity work? i see that it comes with XNurbs if you get the pro version.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

why can't I set a line length to 1"

I can't find any settings to change units.

So how do I make a 1" cube? Seems like a really basic thing that should be fairly easy to do.

Polysplines for modifying stl files?

Has anybody used the poly spline function to modify STL files? I am a hobbyist 3D printer and I occasionally kit bash together STL files that I have found online. STL files aren't really made for that and they don't like it when I do that. I'm wondering if the new poly spline function in plasticity would make that significantly simpler. Anyone done this?
