I’ve been writing these tutorials on making an object in popular 3D modeling programs for a while now, and each week I’ve put out a call for what software I should do next. There is one constant in ...

Using the computer to design objects by modeling their components with real-world behaviors and attributes. Typically specialized for either mechanical design or building design, a parametric modeler ...

When you are ready to design real things, you’ll find simple CAD programs can be pretty limiting. Serious modern designs tend to use parametric modeling where you don’t necessarily set dimensions and ...

There are times to design with parametric features and times to work with free-form versions. A few advantages of designing in 3D solids include associative detail drawings, creating complex features, ...

As a region that is home to some of the world’s most futuristic buildings, it’s no surprise that the concept of parametric design has been steadily gaining momentum. This form of computational design ...
