@hlmodtech, good point - today only the six faces of the view cube react. I'll make the corners clickable, so a click on a corner looks at the model diagonally from that corner, and the edges too, for a view between two faces. Dragging the cube and the number keys stay as they are. I'll come back here when it's in. |

@hlmodtech, this is in 1.56.0: a click on a corner of the view cube looks at the model diagonally from that corner, and a click near an edge looks from that edge, between two sides. The spot lights up under the pointer. Dragging the cube and the keys 1 to 6 work as before. Here is how it works. |

Hey, good to see you here hlmodtech! I'm presuming you're the same fellow who runs the HL ModTech YouTube channel? Am curious how the development of Layering as a Tinkercad replacement (or alternative) is affecting future plans on your channel: will you be offering a Layerling tutorial offshoot (which would be great), or abandoning Tinkercad altogether if Layerling catches on as a viable alternative? So far Stefan has quickly added or modified well over 20 suggestions I've had which I wished were in Tinkercad, and besides needing to access some of my Tinkercad designs, forever locked behind their proprietary cloud, I certainly won't be using it again...<!> With your vast knowledge of Tinkercad's features (and some of Fusion's), I look forward to your suggestions to improve Linkerling as well. |

100% Same guy. Will make some tuts, but Tinkercad will likely be where I still spend most of my time. It is built for classrooms, has COPPA certification, etc. I was an educator, so I value seeing the kiddos getting an early start on CAD. I appreciate the work that Stefan is doing, so I will crank something out next week to get some eyes on it. Love that it does not feel like I am getting in a 747, which is what Fusion and Blender do to me. I really like being able to share ideas and shape how the tool gets designed. |

Yeah, Layerling could be referred to as the Cessna of 3D design... ha, good analogy! I totally understand the advantages of certification and educational aspect of Tinkercad for the classroom, and it certainly has value in that respect -- great for the young kiddos, but irrelevant to us older kiddos! Stefan's willingness and exuberance to grow Layerling as a community-led project is what's really endearing me to it... especially since he's integrated so many of my own suggestions just in the past few days since I joined the discussion. Sometimes it feels like its my own personal app by proxy, but without having to do the work to make it. Discovering this app has even delayed (or disrupted) my winter plan to dive into FreeCAD, which just released the long-awaited v26.3 RC1. I've been delaying that major decision for the same reasons as your 747 analogy. I've also suspected, on more than one occasion, that Stefan may actually be a Claude AI avatar <!> who's just responding to human input -- especially given how quickly and accurately changes and additions are made. In fact I go out of my way when making requests to ensure they are as clear and precise as possible -- in the same way I would with AI prompts -- and the result has never disappointed me, while often exceeding expectations! I look forward to seeing any future shoutout or reviews you give on your channel, and even encourage you to create a branch channel solely for Layerling. There's only one or two doing this so far, and their pre-knowledge of Tinkercad is so basic that it renders their advice (or comparisons) as basically invalid. I think Layerling needs a 'veteran' content creator to promote it... may as well be you, and "how cool is that?"...<!> |

Thanks, but believe me, I'm human :-) If you find layerling useful, a small donation helps me keep improving it. Thank you! 🙂 |
Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
I miss the ability to click the corners of the view cube.
Not essential, but a feature I use a bit in Tinkercad.
