I suspect that they are *hoping* that people can be pulled away from users of Punch ViaCAD and Shark LT/Shark FX in the long run.
123d design sweep for free#
And for free software FreeShip is considerably more capable. Rhino, for example, has at least an order of magnitude more capability. I'm sure someone will soon produce a boat-like object with it, but I wouldn't consider it for anything close to serious design work. The "Program Files" folder containing 123D on my machine is actually slightly larger than the one with Rhino 4. I didn't do much with it but overall performance felt clunky compared to Rhino running on the same computer. I managed to get the squirrel into a mode which showed the paneling and it appeared to be a collection of multi-panel patches. One of the more impressive examples is a nicel looking squirrel which has numerous arbitrary 3D surfaces. It looks like surfaces can be created with a "loft" command and a "sweep" command.ĪutoDesk has made available for separate download a number of objects including fasteners, and numerous examples. There is also a "sketch" mode which includesd rawing simple interpolating splines. It is definitely intended for 3D design with the ability to create various geometry primitives. Sounds like AutoDesk is trying to capture the "maker" community with it, and the release coincides with the "Maker Faire" in the San Francisco bay area: It almost appears that the release of the Beta version was rushed so the announcement coincides with the Maker Faire. There are some very brief flash tutorials. Second reaction is the help is very sparse, just a summary of the commands.
First reaction is that the interface is considerably different than a regular CAD program. I downloaded 123D and got it running on the second try. Beta version of 123D can now be downloaded:
