[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.

What's New in 3D Sculptor.

I
Align to Curve functionality improved for more distant alignment between an edge of the subdivision surface and a sketched curve.

I
Align to Curve provides a tangent accelerator when selecting an edge and aligns the subdivision surface to that edge.

I
A shortcut is available for applying Symmetry and is associated to the Center On command since quite often Symmetry is activated after Center On.
