So at the end I spend more than 20 min for something that should take a snap in any other application (File/ Import). to discover that 360 didn't want to fillet the trouble area either :P

(This part was long enough to make me upload the model a second time :P)įinally the model was available. and I have to wait a little bit more for some validation/refresh process. It takes me another 5 minutes to upload the. you first have to upload the model on the stupid cloud ! Then, when I finally find how open the application from the dashboard (.), I spend 5 minutes in the interface to find a way to import a model. I didnt want to spend to much time troubleshooting the model (how lazy !), so I decide to give fusion360 a try.įirst, my version was not up to date. My biggest love about MoI, Rhino combo is one format.Ī few days ago I was facing some fillet trouble in MoI. Hopefully AutoDesk won't ruin it with features, scope creep, or just messed up pricing. However, I would recommend it to anyone who does design using organic shapes. TSplines does rock but is a bit much for what I do. Refine in Rhino, add the parametrics that most feature based / history based cad users can't seem to get away from.

MoI is so simple and quick for most designs. I wonder how many people stopped using it just because of the cloud portion?Īfter fighting with Alibre, now Geomagic, and coming from SolidWorks for a decade and AutoCAD for 10 years previous to that this is a MoI, Rhino, RhinoWorks world for me. No way I would rely on the cloud for important data. When we were on SolidWorks we had a server for PDMWorks and it was accessible for our outside offices, again no cloud needed and not hard to setup. Solution for Cloud - its called dropbox or even a sharepoint server or any other number of ways to access and share data. Everything else (the modeling) will end up coming down to what features an individual will use and what kind of interface that they like working with. Just think of how much money per minute a larger firm with 20 designers or engineers would lose if their pipeline to the internet went down, even for 15 minutes. The cloud is the worst, over-rated hype on the planet. I did not beta very long due to the cloud aspect.
