What would really rock my day would be alias to have unified modelling, similar to icem surf. For example one feature that would be awesome to have would be defining constraints,e.g.: Say you have surfaces already aligned and G2 to one another. At this stage, we could induce g2 constrain boundaries to what is already aligned, and therefore tweak all surfaces  the way we want without breaking too much the previous alignment between surfaces. This is quite different than the align tool itself and the rig tools. This tool, would speed up a lot reverse engineering work, traditional surfacing, as well as form and shape creativity.   Maybe with the new aquisition of VSR this can be implemented realistically. Let's hope. This would be a super mega tool to have, and quite diferentiating 🙂   I am available for any further discussion and/or development.   Thank you.   Show More

Id like to be able to snap geometry to shell center points, edges etc. since shells still seem to "contain" the surface mathematics it should be possible to do so... Show More

Under the transform CV tool which comes up when pressing the spacebar it allows you to select between picking CVs and Hulls. Would it be possible that in addition of that feature, the software would interligently select either CV or hull depending on where the user clicks to select? For example if the user is in the transform CV tool and clicks on a CV, the cv is selected. But if the user clicks on the hull's line that hull is selected. It would save the few seconds between changing between pick CV and hull constantly.   Thanks Show More

Greetings Autodesk!   I'm Andreas and have been using Alias proffesionally for a couple of years and want to contribute an idea I have for the viewing ports to make switching between the views more efficient using the view cube.   As working in the Automotive industry can put alot of strain and agitation on your wrists and hands while working long hours, I have developed a hotkey system to efficiently devide the tasks between my hands. One of the few "unessecary" movements I do with my hand is reaching for the ViewCube wich is located in one of the corners. As I prefer to use the ViewCube and not the seperate Layout buttons (mostly beacause this is 6 hotkeys I dont have space for, also i would end up switching between them in confusion) I'd like it to be more accsessible.   My idea of how to solve this is by, for example; with the addition of a button the ViewCube would be temporary spawning right next to your mouse location. Exactly like the transform CV tool opens the menu by hitting "space", you could implement the same method for the viewing.   So shift+alt activates the camera movement, and by clicking shift+alt+ctrl/D/E (any button really as this could be hotkeyed to personal preference when the function exists, I just added examples that fits the hand/finger placement) the ViewCube would be right there close to your mouse to switch the view, saving me many meters of movement per day. I imagine this function will not apply to everyone as they are already used to how it works today, but I imagine they would adapt as it would come, also for your workers this does not sound as a priority 1 type of work but from a programmers perspective it cannot be to much work as you guys already have the written code for the transform CV tool.   Hopefully my example is understandable and not already discussed as I could'nt find any similar threads on this forum. Don't hesitate to ask me any further questions on the topic.   Thanks for reading, Scortea Show More

  Hello,   I use the very lastes Alias 2018.2. And what a great simple improvement in the trim tool. The quick selection keep/disgard/devide via mouse buttons is just awesome.   I think the same functionality can be useful in the trim-convert tool. Maybe 'keep' on the left button and 'devide' on the right.   Greetings, David. Show More

This is a small bug in alias, but very irritating too. I frequently use align tool, mostly to project align the surface on to another surface, which creates a COS, but then i want to extend that COS for some multiple reason , it doesn't extend. Every time i have to delete the COS and project a new COS using project normal and then i extend the COS, this eventually solves my problem but i end up loosing time plus its irritating too.

We currently have CV Prop Mod, if we can have HULL Prop Mod it can help us a lot.   Thank You. Show More

Hallo, You guys updated the tool locator with Alias 2019.3. Actually the first time I noticed the tool. But I instantly noticed: the tool would be much more useful if it also come with some better fuzzy-search-algorithm.   i.e. if I search a tool that helps to put surfaces on a mesh, typing the key-words "surface mesh" / "mesh surface" gives no result. Typing "surface" or "mesh" results in 30+ results, which is not too helpful. Or I type exacly "surface from mesh". Which than doesnt find the tool Fit Scan; but this also could be helpful to put surfaces on a mesh. So would be great if the Tool makes Suggestions based on the key-words, and related tools.   Similar algorithm with proper suggestions is already implied in Dynamo. Even better, the search algorithm in Rhino/Grasshopper. It also handles spelling mistakes very well.   Regards David Show More

Hallo,   I like the new offset surface tool with Alias 2019.3. Really a big step forward, compared to the old offset tool; and also compared to the first beta-versions I tested.   Two thing I really would like to see in future updates:  - an enable/disable option for the shrink-to-trim output for trimmed surfaces.   - an offset-direction switch. Basically a negativ toggle for the offset distance. (also for the new curve-offset)   This would be really helpful options, I guess.   regards David Show More
