I guess that takes me back to Lagoa even though it's not an Onshape app. So unless I can work out out to import wood materials into the Clario app (without going into Clario proper). To explain: I will only be using these rendering applications rather occasionally and I do not want to be locked out of the system without paying what will add up over a year to a huge sum, and that on top of the time I have wasted trying to learn them. Get me out of here.Īlso PowerSurface talks about a "Free monthly usage plan" - which sounds like free use only for one month. Wait - I just spotted that on this page ( ) it says "If you do not currently have a paid license of KeyShot, you will be offered a free 14 day trial." That is NOT what I call free. Ĭould you possibly tell me how to connect to Onshape?Īlso please confirm that it is not a time-bombed trial. I can't find any such option on the File menu within KeyShot. > After installation of the application, open KeyShot and select “Connect to Onshape” from the File menu. I dont want to hear about complicated backgrounds or lighting conditions) a couple of choices of dark wood & a brushed steel) that would be all I need. If there was some way to get additional materials (e.g. I JUST want to see roughly what my model would look like in brushed steel & some kind of dark wood. I can see that it's probably extremely powerful but I don't want to spend (waste?) my time learning something this complicated. Nightmare.Īnd when I changed the environment first time it worked, second time nothing happened. Likewise, unlike in Onshape when an item that is selected changes colour to orange, there was little or no feedback to tell me when I had actually selected something in Clara.io. and the suddenly without warning BANG it has applied some material you selected 3 minutes ago. I don't mind that rendering some things is time consuming, but there is little/no feedback to tell you that it is attempting to do something. Not only did I find the Clara.io editor to be it deeply counter-intuitive, but also the messaging is either non-existent or unhelpful.Į.g. but it is way, WAY too complicated for my requirements.


I did try going into Clara.io full editor.
