Sketch

Sketch-based geometry from catalogs

IRONCAD's unique bi-directional catalog system makes it easy to reuse and customize geometry. In the Starter catalog you will find ready-made sketch-based extrusions, lofts and sweeps that can be quickly dragged into the scene. The geometry is not "dumb parts" but fully editable - either by modifying the sketch or with the intuitive Sizebox handles. Once you've created your own variations, you can easily drag them back to the catalogs for future use. The result is a flexible and efficient workflow that saves time and gives you full control over your design.

Freedom when sketching - without the hassle

In IRONCAD , you don't have to start by constraining the sketch with rules and parameters. Draw quickly in 2D and build directly in 3D. If necessary, you can add constraints and parameters - whenever you want. The result is a unique combination of freedom, simplicity and precision compared with traditional CAD systems.

Optimize your workflow with Smart Dimensions

IRONCAD combines the flexibility of Shape handles with the control of Smart Dimensions. By using both locked and unlocked dimensions, you can create accurate models while retaining the freedom to adjust them as needed.

Webinar: Work smarter with Sketch in IRONCAD

In this recorded webinar, you will learn how to work more efficiently with the Sketch feature in IRONCAD. We'll show you practical tips on symbols, handles and locks - and how you can use them to simplify your modeling.

Parameterize when needed - not required

Create 3D models from your 2D sketches

Start from 2D profiles and quickly build advanced 3D models. With Extrude, Spin, Sweep and Loft tools, you can shape, rotate,
sweep or merge sketches to take your design from idea to finished model.
