Start modeling
Guided first model
These settings are only for ModelCraft, and you can change them only here, in the app.
Loading the menu styles…
Trackpad: swipe with two fingers to orbit, hold Shift and swipe to pan, pinch to zoom — no camera buttons needed. Mouse wheel: the wheel zooms. "Work it out" treats sideways or fine-grained scrolling as a trackpad.
Two fingers also pinch to zoom; three fingers do the other one. Hold one finger still on empty space, then drag, to orbit with one finger. While you draw, a loupe above your finger shows the points it snaps to.
Both are also buttons at the bottom right of the view, so you can turn them off for one move and back on.
The view cube sits at the top right of the view: click a face, edge or corner to look from there, drag it to orbit, drag the compass ring to turn the model. The axis icon is a small X, Y, Z marker at the bottom left.
Check for 3D printing says when a model is larger than this. Pick the size closest to your printer's build volume.
Lost a toolbar, a menu or a panel?
Puts the toolbar (order, lock and buttons), the panels, the screen mode and the menu style back to how ModelCraft starts. Your theme, language, sizes and ModelCraft's own settings stay as they are.
The theme applies to every CadCraft app and the site.
The language applies to every CadCraft app. The app reloads to change it.
Browsers allow full screen only after a click or key press, so it starts on your first click in the drawing.
On a touch screen (swipe the toolbar for more, or let it wrap)
Arrange: drag tools within their group, and drag a group by its name.
Right-click the toolbar (or long-press it) for Arrange, Lock and Reset.
Fingers on the drawing, once you use a pen here
With Only move the view, one finger on the drawing does nothing and two fingers move and zoom it. These choices are for this device, in every app. A pen is noticed the first time you use one here.
The bars, toolbars, panels and dialogs of ModelCraft, bigger or smaller; the drawing keeps its own zoom. Panel text size works on top of it.
You can also drag a panel's inner edge. Double-click the edge to put it back.
Drag a panel by its name to dock it left, right or at the bottom, or drop it over the drawing to float it. A new window can go on your other screen. Reset layout puts every panel back where it started.
Add-ons add features to ModelCraft. Switching one off takes effect at once; some need a reload to go completely.
Developer mode is on: add-ons that are not signed can load. Only use add-ons you trust.
Panel widths apply when the panels sit beside the drawing (wider windows).
