MY RIP Dad was a cabinet maker from 70 yrs ago when it was drawn by hand. He would have loved this and the way you present it.

[@ryanseyfert383]

Great tutorial, you obviously know the program well! My only wish is you would either slow down on some of the more complicated items or be zoomed in on your screen slightly better so I can see which buttons/functions you are using. Otherwise, really wonderful. Once I get the hang of this program a bit better (coming from sketchup) I will use your code to get the subscription. Got tired of running up and down stairs from the shop to the computer, so hoping to make use of this when in the shop better! Lastly, and I definitely agree with you, I hope the guys @shapr3D add better dimensioning. It is such a powerful tool on sketchup to have that ability to quickly dimension anything and see it from all rotated angles.

[@jds604]

I’ve watched tutorial after tutorial of Sketchup and I’ve never been able to figure it out. You’ve convinced me to start using Shaper. This was great. Hoping you can make another, maybe slowed down, tutorial!

[@BevelishCreations]

I feel SketchUp have a steeper learning curve than Shapr...As a design engineer who’s used a lot of different programs, I’ve been recommending Shapr to anyone who’s just getting into CAD. I’ve been recommending this program before they sponsored me. Feel free to ask me any questions about the program and I can try to answer the best I can. Shapr also has a good series of beginner lessons on their KZbin channel.

[@toomars1301]

Agreed! Excellent tutorial! But, for those of us who didn’t grow-up carrying a computer in our pocket...a slow-down version would be greatly appreciated. Thanks You!!!

[@Bjornarp]

ditto! but damn... i'll have to buy an ipad and a pen xD very nice video!

i bought an ipad and a pen xD amazing software

[@darvaish4552]

i believe there will be a lot of newbie like myself around here. your video is top notch, only if you could please slow down, so noobs can absorb the commands. it will help us enjoy the learning process. many thanks

[@tutorialmasterbrasil]

Amazing software, Amazing video. Thanks!

[@BevelishCreations]

Thanks for checking it out :)

[@sandrinehoareau330]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

Please do more videos with this app!!!!!

[@BevelishCreations]

I probably will

[@theishganda]

Hey Alex, it’s been 2 years bro. When is the next video coming out. I just got the app via Matthew Encina.

[@BevelishCreations]

I made a few more videos with this app..

[@toxman69]

I was already a pro subscriber but you still sold me! Great job. Also, love the work on your channel.

[@BevelishCreations]

Thank you!

[@doctortropico]

@7:03 Fast workaround for this (in desktop version) do select all (crtl+a) and then shift+click the folder to deselect just that one. You can grab all the rest and drop it into the folder.

[@BevelishCreations]

Nice!

[@runforrestrun1965]

Looks easier than sketch up, which I struggle with even after using it on an off for a while now. (or at least let’s me imitate the way I work and think). Will look at giving it a try.

[@BevelishCreations]

It’s definitely more intuitive than SketchUp. I’d say it’s the most intuitive CAD program I’ve ever used. (I do CAD work as my day job and have used five or six different softwares over the past 15 years)

[@michaelburton3416]

Wow, this is so intuitive. Great demo, I'm sold.

[@BevelishCreations]

Thanks :)

Will do!

[@ryanmorgan3556]

Best sharpr3d video hands down. Please make more! Thanks in advance. Sincerely, a grateful new subscriber

[@jasontitley2599]

Great tutorial! I started using the app after your first video. I’ve enjoyed using the augmented reality feature to visualize some of my pieces in the room before committing to the design.

[@BevelishCreations]

Nice! I actually haven’t tried that yet

[@MakeSomething]

Excellent tutorial as I'm just starting to dive into Shapr3D.

[@randomiumolica]

It's outstanding art. Excellent work 👍.

[@bigkremey]

Alex, this is awesome! Thank you so much fir putting this together. Like many commenters on here, I’ve tried fusion and sketchup and just get lost. This is so intuitive and your walk through is so perfect! Thanks bubba!

[@BevelishCreations]

Thanks Andy! Glad it was helpful!

[@jakabonca]

Your tutorial in excellent. Couldn’t be better. Just jumped in to Sharpr following your steps and it flies.

[@BevelishCreations]

Thank you

Yay!!! You got the Sponsorship

[@BevelishCreations]

:D

[@EverythingIsPoland1331]

OMG thank you I’ve been trying to use shaper 3-D for a year now!

[@vetguy2494]

Thank you for posting a tutorial related to a furniture build and Shapr3D. I hope to see more. This video tutorial was very good relative to the other Shapr3D tutorials available. However relative to other tutorials for programs like Sketchup this tutorial is ok. Like the other Shaper3D tutorials out there this video progresses far to fast for me to be easily useful. When you say ‘I use the translate tool...’ for example by the time I’ve figured out where/what the translate tool is you’ve already moved on. I am appreciative for your time and thankful this wasn’t 30 minutes of music and warp speed sketching. Maybe as a raw beginner to Shapr3D I’m not the target audience. I’m sure more experienced users got much more valuable info from the vid.

[@BevelishCreations]

I just assumed people would pause and do the option, then continue with the video. It’s how I normally work when learning from KZbin videos. I’ll keep that in mind for next time

[@vetguy2494]

Actually you assume correctly. I use split screen with KZbin and Shapr3D side by side but still find it difficult Probably more my issue as obviously with over 400 likes I’m likely in the minority. I find Shapr3D difficult to use in general. I meant no animosity toward you or the tutorial , and I appreciate you responding to my comment. I look forward to your next Shapr3D tutorial and really enjoy your build videos.

[@BevelishCreations]

No animosity taken. I haven’t done many tutorials before. So I’m still trying to figure things out :)

[@CasualBuilds]

Yes!! Thanks for putting out this video. So many little tips and tricks you shared that I never knew existed.

[@BevelishCreations]

Glad it was helpful!

[@swishpan]

I feel grateful I entered Shapr after the drawing tool was released! Looks like you had to do that manually back then.

[@AlGauthierphoto]

Outstanding video. As a wood worker and someone who just found Shapr3D, this is invaluable. Thank you!

[@BevelishCreations]

Absolutely! Let me know what else you’d like to see about the app :)

[@lorenzoalfonso6035]

Good video, the bad thing that explains it as fast as if all people had that speed, the fact that they know how to do something very well is not synonymous with knowing how to teach that is very typical with people who upload videos are not teachers. way I will try to follow you while I find another option Thank you 👍🙏

It should export the cutlist so nesting can be done in a dedicated software like cutlist fx.

[@justinmorgan5073]

Only just started watching your videos recently I was curious if you had any videos where you discuss your thought process when working through a design and how you’re about to think in terms of millimeters and different things like that. I’m assuming you grew up with the metric system.

[@BevelishCreations]

Nah I grew up in the US. But we only used metric in engineering school (in the US). And I worked as an engineer for Honda for 12 years, and we only used metric.

[@pinksoulstudios]

Omg. This video was great Alex! I’m excited to give this app a try again. 💘

[@BevelishCreations]

NOOOOO you didn’t use my promo code? T.T hahaha it’s a great app and they’re constantly improving it! There’s a desktop beta version now too, but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

@@BevelishCreations yeah dude my M1 MacBook pro lands tomorrow. I've cancelled my Fusion subscription. This has everything I need. Between this, Aspire and Lightburn I'm golden.

Cheers buddy ! That was a great help !

[@lizamarks6874]

After using fusion this seems more intuitive and a more natural way of working also less expensive than fusion.

[@BevelishCreations]

It is! The only time I hop on Fusion is for CAM work. I know a few people who have completely switched away from Fusion

brilliant video LOVE IT but by all the brilliant CAD you forgot that your saw cut is bigger than 0mm. ;-) How you manage the cutting with of your tools in the layout?

[@BevelishCreations]

I never lay out the kerf of the blade :) the diagram is just for reference. As long as there’s leftover material along one edge, it’s fine

[@zsw67]

Awesome video, thanks Alex! I've tried fusion and sketch up in the past and got very discouraged by the mouse and keyboard workflow. After only 1 hour in on playing around with ith shapr3d w/ the apple pencil and already so much more comfortable doing cad drawings on the iPad than I was after many hours of fusion/SketchUp tutorials.

[@BevelishCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@KinuGrove]

This is exactly how I feel the pen and ipad combination just works.

[@justincottingham3969]

I’m curious about how you would center up the leg assembly. It seemed that it wasn’t perfectly centered in the drawing from the start and the half lap and the position of the legs would be in different spots. I realize once building for real you can center everything up but just wondering how to set this in place. Seasoned SketchUp user and brand new shaper3d user.

[@WACkZerden]

Good video, Thank You.

Great insight into the app. My brain doesn’t work that fast but I picked up some valuable tips. Just need to watch it again and again. Is there a KZbin slow mo button??

[@BevelishCreations]

Yes, there’s an option to slow the video down in the options

[@rebel1988us]

Wish Shaper wasn't so expensive for the paid version. Mostly because it's such an intuitive and fun program to use and I justify the cost but wish I could.

[@BevelishCreations]

Yeah I agree it’s a little expensive. But for people who make money from this type of work, I think it’s worth it since it’s actually half of Fusion 360’s price

[@BevelishCreations]

I know they’re working on adding dimensions to 3D parts like Sketchup does. I’m not sure what version it’s finally going to be on though

[@TheSolanis]

trying to follow along from a beginners point of view, I found it very difficult to keep up with you. You are obviously very knowledgeable about Shapr, but sadly I'm not and have to keep pausing and going back trying to figure out what you were doing to try and replicate it myself. Would love to see you do one a wee bit slower with a bit more explanation of what your choosing to allow those of us just getting in to this type of software to follow along more easily.

[@megavide0]

Awesome. Neat CAD application. 12:28 The second leg axis isn't exactly symmetrical to the first one, though. (Not that it matters much for this demonstration. It's just that I feel that programs with emphasis on easy usability often allow for easy mistakes. // Or to put it differently: Ease of usability often comes with a lack of control. But I want to try it out, myself. Shapr3D looks great.)

[@BevelishCreations]

Yeah it probably wasn’t completely symmetrical, but it wouldn’t matter much if I’m building it

Wow... i need this app. Will it run on regular iPad? Or is pro the one I need?

[@Purgetheworld]

Love it! Hopefully I can get as comfortable with the program as you are. Some things were done so fast I was confused. Also, @ 1:07 when we see your Home Screen are those shortcuts on the left? And if so, what are they used for and maybe you could do a video explaining? I am all about learning to be more efficient! Cheers.

[@BevelishCreations]

Yeah they’re Apple shortcuts. My channel isn’t really an iPad/tech channel. You can search for “shortcuts on iPad” and there’s a lot of stuff on it.

[@benvelarde1964]

I can’t set the drawer front size like how you’re doing at 17:47. It will let me click the line of the sketch (drawer front) but not the line of the side of the cabinet. When I exit sketching then try, I’m able to select both lines but it only gives me the option to move both of them and does not pop up that ‘distance’ box that you’re getting.
