Hello,
I have been looking into switching from the T-Splines plugin in Rhino to SpeedForm and Alias. I have a few basic questions and some thoughts as I continue to play around with a trial version of Speedform. I am sure I will have more questions as I dive deeper, I will continue to add them to this thread. I aplogize in advance if any of these have already been asked/answered. Any help is appreciated!
Questions:
1. It seems that Fusion 360 and Speedform are currently very similar at first glance [Other than that Fusion 360 is "cloud enabled"] . Is there additional t-splines functionality within Speedform that Fusion 360 does not have?...Or is there additional functionality planned for a later date? The price discrepancy between the two would suggest so, but I have not had a change to play around with Fusion 360 yet.
2. I can turn on zebra stripes within "Inspect", but I cant seem to find a way to turn them off?...I am sure I am missing something simple here
3. I did not see a hotkey for welding vertices?...I use this a ton in T-Splines for Rhino and it seems cumbersome to have to click weld in the toolbar every time...although I do realize the tool stays open for multiple use which is nice
Thoughts:
1. I know this has been brought up in the forum, but it would be really helpful to be able to customize the hotkeys...I am so used to the T-Splines commands in Rhino I'd like to mimic these [smoothing, welding, extruding, edit-form mode, views, etc.]
2. I would love to be able to freehand sketch in 3d directly within Speedform [for use with a Wacom tablet]...Myabe as a fourth category Sculpt, Detailing, Render, and "Sketch", Similar to paint in Alias, but more like Sketchbook Pro for use on a chosen plane would be really helpful... Something similar to uMake would be even cooler.
Thanks a lot for the help.
Cheers,
Peter
