Split Panel Feature
This split panel feature has been one of my favourites of the past year to work on. The combination of a really cool data structure, and an interesting implementation of point manipulators have resulted in a feature I would describe as "playful". Clicking a blue dot adds a split, a red dot remove the split. The extra cool…

But after creating a part studio in context (inside an…

Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my first real steps in proper 3D modeling (I came from Tinkercad, so this was a big jump for me 😅), and I wanted to share something useful that came out of that learning process. I wrote a FeatureScript called Crush Ribs — a fully parametric tool for generating wedge-shaped crush ribs inside…

Serialization
We have a request to 3D print up to 4000 parts that require serialization. Is it possible to write a script that will change the text on a extrude cut and export a stl file so they don't have to be edited and saved individually?
