Deform - Create smooth, curved surfaces for boats, planes, rockets or anything else that comes to mind.
Revolve - Draw flat shapes and revolve them around an axis to form cylindrical 3D objects such as cones, spheres, cups, vases, etc.
Offset - With ease, create windows, doors, picture frames, etc. with the ability to thicken, curve and manipulate shapes within shapes for depth.
Mirror Geometry - Create perfectly symmetrical objects by modeling half of their geometry then mirroring and combining it with the other half.
Distance Snapping - Accurately design 3D models with precise display and measurement tools. Know exactly where on the grid you are drawing and to what scale.
Draw on Curved Surfaces - Control deformed surfaces with the ability to draw lines on them where needed.
Search and Remix from 3DVIA.com - Use pre-existing models on 3DVIA.com as a base to start your design, or add models into your current scene to create a 3D environment.
