Feature requests

Artistically, Plasticity is very impressive. However, I wish it had a few more CAD-oriented features as well. I would like to use Plasticity not only for hard-surface art, but also as my main 3D design tool for functional parts and 3D printing. At the moment, the lack of common CAD features such as standardized screws, threaded holes, fasteners, and similar mechanical-design tools makes that difficult. For me, this is one of the main reasons I often get recommended Fusion 360 over Plasticity. However, I find Fusion 360 far too complex and engineering-oriented for the artistic work I do. I wish I could keep the artistic workflow of Plasticity while also having access to some of the most common engineering tools. I understand that Plasticity is primarily focused on artists rather than traditional engineering CAD, and I actually like that direction. I just wish it sat slightly more in the middle: keeping the fast, artist-friendly hard-surface workflow while also including some of the practical tools commonly found in CAD software. I think that combination could make Plasticity useful for a much wider range of projects without changing what makes it appealing in the first place. I appreciate the work you are putting into the software. Have a good day.

A tool where you can drag out a circle, and using the UP / DOWN arrows set the number of teeth for a toothed gear wheel, the tooth profile / detail can be set in a standard Plasticity tool panel. This is essentially a preset radial array tool.

Please enable the ability to dimension lines and curves after making them. The process to dimension lines should be as seamless and quick as Shapr 3D. It shouldn't be like Solid Works or Fusion 360, or Free Cad. No constraint difficulty involved like in Solid Works or Free Cad. Shapr 3D has these features but I do not have the money to spend on their professional subscription license for a whole year or more. I think this feature will add to the seamlessness and ease of using Plasticity 3D.

+ Measure: 1. Measure Angle 2. Measure Volume (creates a tag) 3. Measure Center of Mass (Generates a selectable but unmovable large point visible over all objects) 4. PMI: Measuring angle and Length/Distance, Radius in 3D environment. + Toggle Random Color for each part/body sheet or solid. + Customizable Edge Selection Color / it defines its own color to generate required color contrast based on the colors of its surrounding. + Curve on Surface: Being able to use Bridge Curve and Spline on the selected or the set of selected surfaces with the support of G1-G2 continuity. + Assigning material to selected face(s).

hmm how to implement best?? plasticity files can be added to FC assemblies as if they were native FCStd files? part design WB has a plasticity bridge function that lets you do any arbitrary number of operations on a FC body?

ツールパレットのカスタマイズ機能とドッキング機能が欲しいです。I want the function to customize tool palette and docking it as tab and so on. ( For example, it might be similar to those of cinema4d )

Feature Request: Add a dedicated freehand Pen/Stylus drawing tool that allows artists to draw continuous curves directly across 3D meshes, CAD solids, or reference objects using a graphics tablet/stylus, featuring real-time stroke stabilization and automatic surface conformance. Key Mechanics & Options: Stylus & Freehand Input: Designed specifically for graphic tablet / stylus input (continuous stroke drawing rather than placing individual points). Stabilizer / Jitter Filtering: Adjustable slider for stroke stabilization (LazyMouse / Streamline effect) to eliminate hand tremors and jitter while moving the pen. Surface Conformance (Two Modes): Planar / Silhouette mode: In flat/orthographic views, the pen stroke automatically snaps and conforms strictly to the outer silhouette/contour of the underlying mesh. 3D Surface mode: The curve hugs the 3D surface topography directly under the pen tip, following all valleys, ridges, and slopes across the mesh (true Curve on Mesh / Curve on Surface). Curvature & Smoothing Controls: Smoothness: Controls how aggressively the resulting curve is smoothed out. Fitting Tolerance / CV Density: Balances between hugging the mesh tightly vs generating a clean, low-CV (Control Vertices) NURBS curve with fair curvature. Why it matters: Clicking points individually to trace complex organic forms or 3D scans is slow and lacks sufficient accuracy. Being able to naturally sketch with a stylus directly on top of geometry — with the app automatically turning freehand strokes into smooth, accurate CAD curves — would massively speed up retopology, surfacing, and industrial design sketching.

Currently, the Scale tool works with scale factors, which means if I have an object that is 15.5" and want it to be exactly 14", I first need to calculate the correct scale factor externally. It would be incredibly useful to have an option to simply enter the desired final dimension.

Please add the diameter value of the selected object so that it can be copied like the radius.

It would be nice to have the ability to customize point and edge size and color, sometimes it is hard to click or see them.
