A new release of CoCreate Modeling Personal Edition, the world's first free explicit 3D CAD software, is now available for download. This new release includes many of the concepts, paradigms, and capabilities found in CoCreate 17.0. And, as always, your download never expires; use it as long as you like.
Look for these new capabilities with CoCreate Modeling Personal Edition 3.0:
Instant Feedback with Real-time Explicit Modeling and Enhanced Realism
CoCreate Modeling PE 3.0 includes real-time explicit modeling and enhanced realism. Both provide instant feedback as you work with your models.
For example, move a profile, feature, or group of faces, and the actual model updates instantly. That means you know exactly what your changes look like, without having to preview or predict the result of a change. Plus, with the new enhanced realism, the 3D design always appears fully realistic. So you'll see shadows and mirror planes as you work. This new visual environment helps you see the results of your work as you go and provides tremendous usability and productivity boosts for any designer.
Speed Design with Context Sensitive Mini-Toolbars and Push-Pull Paradigms
Another neat addition is context-sensitive mini-toolbars. Even in the best software, you traditionally have to right click or go through menus to see what tools and options are available as you work. Mini-toolbars show the most relevant commands and options that apply to the context of the design, based on what you might need to complete a particular design step. The impact on your design speed is immediately noticeable.
Also new is a Push-Pull paradigm. Profiles, features, and faces can be directly pushed or pulled in 3D space in real-time, with instant updates. Again, this bypasses some of the more traditional commands and options and significantly speeds your design time.
New Ways to Drive Designs Changes with Intelligent 3D Dimensions
If you're adding product manufacturing information directly to your designs, you'll benefit from new intelligent 3D dimensioning. You can add dimensions to both native and imported 3D models at any time. CoCreate Modeling PE 3.0 displays the preferred 3D dimension type for whatever geometry you're working with, like a diameter dimension for the radial surface of a hole.
Plus, your dimensions can be used to subsequently change your geometry; for example, you could change the diameter value of a dimension, and the diameter of the hole changes at the same time. Change a model via dimensioning in combination with real-time explicit modeling, and you begin to see the power, transparency, flexibility, and ease of use that define this release.
And Much More
- When working with 2D profiles you are much more versatile. You can overlap and nest profiles, auto-select valid profiles, and then select which profile you want to use.
- You can create and change advanced 3D patterns easily and quickly
- Include shaded views in your drawings
- Work with Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, or XP
