It's on the way and it's awesome.
There are for sure way more CAD programs for Windows, but that does not mean that there is a shortage of programs for the Mac. Way more than...
TouchCAD can import tab based points exports from Excel and convert it into both curves and surfaces.
Building out of one sheet is actually fairly common in one way or another. Done it myself since the seventies. Many programs can unroll plates,...
TouchCAD only ( www.touchcad.com ). All described features are standard features in the program. Normally, I would say that I extract about...
In this case, it's an integrated standard feature in the program I use. The point is that it requires very little work beyond specifying a weight...
Not an easy task unless the design program used supplied such data for you. I get a full set of specs directly and with minimal effort,...
Speak later on today ;-) Claes
Everything you see in the picture was 100 % produced within TouchCAD without any plugins added. TouchCAD also come with generic versions for Mac...
The key question is whether you scanner software is able to extract a few relevant point instead of the millions of irrelevant points you get from...
Most print programs allow you to flip normals on surfaces. Check in your printing program. If you spin it a bit it becomes obvious where it goes...
As pointed out, the so called normals are partially inverted. Do you have a feature for reversing normals in your program? Most Solid modeling CAD...
Why does everything need to be with these particular programs? I have done all my some eighty realized projects on Mac, though all used programs...
TouchCAD provides a different approach to surface development, as it has a true dynamic link between the 3D panels and flat panels. This means...
Personally, I do most of the 3D modeling in my hull fairing program, TouchCAD, in fairly substantial detail, including interior design, framing,...
No problems here in Vectorworks (on a Mac of all things!). The deck needed re-fairing in TouchCAD using the usual "Botox for boats" procedures to...
Don't know why Solidworks can't create a solid out of this, and I don't know if SolidWorks has shifted 3D engine yet, but at least in previous...
Should work. Worked fine using Vectorworks using the shell tool. It's based on Siemens Parasolids 3D engine. Keel and rudder was a bit iffy...
Opened the file in two different programs, none of them being Maxsurf or Rhino, and the surfaces are really messy with crossing curves. Why did...
Not sure what the point would be. Your sketch doesn't not seem to fit very well. Spent a few minutes in TouchCAD on it....
