123D Design

Is hard to work and typing & changing measurements is confusing and misleading. If I type in length 4, it will expand, but if I repeat that, it will change the measurement.

This app is impossible to use. I have used Maya for 15 years and I know what I am doing. Clearly all of the good reviews are from Autodesk employees.

I WANT 123D SCULPT BACK it is useless not even sculpting and we're is the clay? It it way to boring and unusable. 123D sculpt is more fun please auto desk bring back 123D Sculpt!

Updated 10-22-2015<br/>This app is useable but it could be much better. Currently this is the only app of its kind that you can get real design work done. <br/>The following is how I would redesign this app so it is much easier to use on the iPad. <br/>Feature request redesign:<br/>1. Tap to select an object. 2 finger twist to rotate selected object. Pinch and zoom on selected object to enlarge or make smaller just that object. Pinch and Zoom on any area of the work space outside of an object to zoom in/out on all objects together. Have dimentions of object overlayed on selected object all the time with an option in settings. <br/>Right now I have to drag 1 dimention of an object goto the measureing tool and see the dimention amount because I do not know how the 2 demensions corralate to one another. So being able to see the real dimention all the time is more useful to me. Very time consuming. I hait it!! I would really like to be able to 3 tap on an object to be able to enter all three dimentions x,y,z, at once, as a number, done. Finished end of story. You can do this to a point but it is not very easy. All the developer tried to do is port the desk top version over to the iPad and then tried to add some touch features to thid app. Which never works for any desktop software port. The developers need to write an app from the ground up. And I hope the developers are working on a new app developed specificly for the iPad Pro. Apple already showed off the app Umake. That is designed specificly for the iPad Pro.<br/>Just subsituting ones finger in place of the mouse ponter does not work.<br/>Taping on a particular spot is the Windows mouse pointer way of doing things. In a touch screen environment, taping anywhere on an object to select that object then Pinch &amp; Zoom, or 2 finger twist to rotate, or swip my finger from left to right, right to left, Top to bottom, bottom to top, etc.. Is the touch screen way.<br/>Right now this app is way to frustrating trying to use the current implementation of the touch screen interface. Instead of being a joy to use I just want to pull my hair out.<br/>And then the way I have to save my project to the cloud is another story. Then start up the Windows version of 123D Design then save my project file to my Local PC desktop. Then start up Meshmixer, edit, save file, start up my 3D printer software, import file, set setting then print. Is also way to complex than needed. I should be able to use the IOS Open In Command to open / copy/export my stl file to Parallels Access App that is connected to my PC. And copy my file over to my PC instead of having to save my file to the Cloud first. And I should be able to import my file directly into Meshmixer by way of Parallel Access. Or better yet not even have to use a PC at all in my workflow which is the best solution around. I want to use the Cloud as a way to backup my files, etc.<br/>I hope that both 123D Design and Meshmixer or a similar app is designed for the iPad Pro so that all I need a PC for is to print to my 3D printer. One way I don't need a PC is to save the stl file to a SD card and pop the SD card into my printer.

Crashes crashes crashes.

At the time of writing, I am using version 1.7 on an iPad running iOS 9.2.1. This application is very similar to another application by the same publisher called ‘123D Sculpt+’ in that the function is to give the user a medium with which to create 3-Dimensional structures, objects, creatures, etc. The difference here is that this application does so with multiple different adjustable geometric shapes, as opposed to ‘Sculpt+’s base templates with adjustable branches. Both work well for different situations, but I prefer the system used by ‘Design’. I used this application to create a robot-type creation for a digital arts class, but I did not 3D print it, so I am unable to comment on that aspect of the app, but the creation portion serves its purpose pretty well. It can be tough to adjust the shapes just as you want them, but it gets easier with more experience. One issue I have with this application, however, is the same one ‘Sculpt+’ suffered with, which is the relatively tough camera controls. It can take a little while to adjust the camera to be facing the front of your creation, so it would be nice to have controls to better, more precisely move the camera to specific points, possibly one to bring the camera to a single, unchanging equilibrium point of sorts. Another issue may either be due to the strength of the software, or the strength of my iPad, however, I relatively frequently ran into pretty significant slow down while trying to adjust my creations. Understandably, this issue becomes more prevalent as more assets are placed on the screen. In total, this application serves its purpose well enough, however it would be better suited to smaller scale projects. As far as mobile 3D Design applications go, this is probably my favorite on the App Store, and it’s free, so it’s definitely worth a try for those that are interested in creating this type of art.

Somehow I automatically got free subscrptions signed up after installing this, dont remember even clicking anything. Make sure you goto general-&gt;restrictions and turn off in app purchases BS.

Something I've been wanting to for a while now is being able to insert an image in the xyz planes to help give us the best references to model certain things for making
