Yes, yes, yes...thank you Onshape...mixed modelling what a great improvement, slightly over excited here!!3

Mixed modelling is seriously impressive, we use scan data a lot. Great to see time be spent on polishing the UI for the existing toolset, like the In-context references, Style Panel, Projected Auxiliary Views and Render Studio (although I'd still love to be able to add decals in RenderStudio?). Versions for drawing views is great, I've never had such a positive experience engaging with and using a piece of professional software as I've had with Onshape. The rate of change and development is incredible.3
-
I waited so long for the In context improvement. Great work as usual2
-
This is an impressive set of improvements, kudo OnShape/PTC team!Mixed Modelling is very handy, as we'll now be able to work with .STL files.Annnnnd thanks for fixing Replicate. That's a TIME SAVER.Keep up the good work.3

My goodness. That replicate feature just keeps going up and up. And I didn't think I would see mixed modeling!5

It is not a beginner workflow, mind you, but does give awesome results. Try this tutorial: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/render-studio-interface.htm?Highlight=sticker
