Add a simple way to group shaders and lights into groups/layers in the multi-lister i.e. the same method used in VRED and MAYA. Show More

Would be nice if the Canvas>Project Sketch function worked with layer symmetry when shaded. At present its very difficult/impossible to produce a symmetrical texture/decal, but maybe it could be an option when projecting? Sometimes you don't want symmetry.... Regards Brian Show More

Variants Lister options: Presentation export   As an industrial designer I use Alias not only for the modelling but also to present the results thanks to the great Variants Lister and the option to set a delay between the switch from Variant to Variant. This creates a nice animation like presentation.   The downside of this is that one is bound to carrying a Laptop where Alias needs to be started and  a "heavy" WIre file opened, then the Variants Lister started and presented.   One improvement of this limitation is to incorporate a screengrab tool into Alias (like the is already one from Autodesk).     By choosing Image File Type, the active Variants Group is being played at the desired speed and a video screengrab of the active window is exported as a suitable video format. Later that video can be saved to a mobile device and a presentation can be played/paused to better explain certain details during a presentation.   Would be perfect to have later a dedicated Autodesk Alias App for a mobile device, where all variants are seen as Thumbnails and a presentation is easier played/paused, or easier switched between variants.     Tubular Offset Tool improvement: This would help to better define the length of a tubular offset. Having as well a "Cap end" as option would help to create easier grooves from end to end.     What do you think about these suggestions?   Thank you in advance.   Best regards, Stefan   Show More

A locator that shows the spacing between CVs maybe with a gradient scale of color (sort of like the curve evaluation shader but applied on hulls: the more a hull is long the more of some color it will get).. so that is easy to nicely space CVs between eachother in a constant accelerating way.   I am not quite sure is that useful but sometime I wish I had it   Show More

I'd like the option to make all the object inside a layer visualised with different wireframe style. For example:  - different dashed lines types. - different custumizable opacity/transparency for the wireframe lines.   Thanks Show More

Alias and VRED should have a common shader library, in order to make it easier to export to VRED and also have better quality shaders in Alias. Show More

The software should allow users to specify window transparency ,which allows you to see through tool windows and see your model in the background, providing a less obstructed feel in the modeling window. Show More

I'd like a layer state that does not shade the objects keeping them always in wireframe mode.   For the rest should all be working as normal.   THis is an idea for keep construnction surfaces active and useful without though hiding the real objects.     I do not really understand why you guys have this two state pickable and reference now which I find completely useless as template or making another stage visible does the job already.     Thanks.

The visualisation of the current pointer is terrible. Even in Dynamic mode my eyes often lose it as its contrast became very little with some background/shaders/...   If you simply add a border (black or anyway with editable colour) to the current tracker things could be improved a lot.     Thanks Show More

I would like to switch from perspective to orthogonal with one hotkey. Show More
