Release Notes

GeometryWorks3D — Details

GeometryWorks3D efficiently and accurately creates a wide variety of different surface and curve types, all with a consistent geometrically intuitive interface.

Lofted Surfaces

Surface building and manipulation of classic loft surfaces are based upon conic sections.

Object Action Construction

With the "object-action" method you eliminate the search for menus. You work the way you "think." GW3D provides the user with hundreds of ways to create geometry without the burden of a corresponding number of menus.

The "object-action" environment is selection order independent which allows less thinking about "HOW" and provides more ways to "DO."
