Load GearsExample.scdoc and try it yourself. Watch the purple buttons on the rose components to see the difference. Then we anchored the rose component that is highlighted and turned the gray component. First we turned the gray component without anchoring it or the rose components. The animated example below shows how anchoring different parts in the assembly affects the behavior of the gears. The Gear tool is enabled when you select appropriate objects that belong to different components. See the printable Assembly constraints reference chart for descriptions of all assembly constraints. Gear conditions can be created between two cylinders, two cones, a cylinder and a plane, or a cone and a plane. All of the subscription plans offer modeling in a higher resolution, a full-color palette, immediate exports, and functional use of the 3D Slash app.The Gear tool constrains two objects so one of the objects rotates in response to the rotation of the other object. The free version is limited to the web application, a reduced color palette, and queued exports. And this is only a smidgen of the many features offered by a modeling program that’s so light it can run on a Raspberry Pi.ģD Slash is offered in both free and paid versions. Multi-part models can be modeled with different colors, then exported by color. Images can be used either to sculpt shapes or as a stencil to engrave models. More advanced features allow users to model with more precision.

With a basic set of tools, users can model shapes much like a stonecutter: adding and removing cubes of a user-defined size.

3D Slash is billed as an easy-to-use 3D modeling tool that’s especially friendly for non-designers and children.
