How is my design space organized? – Shapr3D Help Desk

You can declutter your design space with the Items manager in Shapr3D to get a better overview on what’s in your work. Open the Items manager by selecting at the bottom of the screen, and select items in the panel to immediately select the related shapes in your design.

Every body, group of sketches, plane, axis, and image you create in your project is defined as an item, searchable in this panel. If you create new 3D bodies with one of the Boolean tools (Subtract, Intersect, Union), those new items are named after the original bodies’ names.

Notice that each item type is indicated by these icons:

Body
Sketch
Note: Sketches are automatically organized by the planes they are drawn on. So each sketch item can include multiple sketches from the same plane. You can combine multiple sketch items into one folder.
