[SOLIDWORKS] 3D Sculptor

Functional Value

More options available for subdivision modeling. Integrate subdivision geometry with existing model geometry. Users can align the subdivision surface to the edge of existing geometry or a curve.

User Experience Value

More intelligence built in to speed up the modeling workflow. A shortcut is available for applying symmetry, and the knitting of the solid upon exiting the subdivision environment applies only to closed volumes, open surfaces are left unknit.

Highlights of new Functionality in the 3D Sculptor role

I
When creasing edges, coloring of the edge helps identify the amount of sharpness of the crease.

I
The ability to add and remove entities from subdivison selection sets allows more modeling flexibility.

I
Materials have been improved to provide a more realistic visual experience.
