Advanced Derivative tools include point clouds, derivative from parts of objects. The frame tool derives a structure such as a truss or space frame from the edges of an object

Unfold enables a model to be unfolded (flattened) with tabs and labels for fabrication and easy assembly. The projection tool flattens an object onto a plane

Revolve is used to derive a revolved or lathed object from a profile (source shape) and an axis

Helix and Sweep are powerful modeling operations that derive a new shape from the volume that a source object creates as it follows a path

Advanced Sweep tools (Two Source Sweep, Two Path Sweep, Boundary Sweep, Draft Sweep) offer more flexibility and power the sweep capabilities

Offset Surface makes a new surface parallel to the original surface. Thicken (shelling) converts a surface into a solid of a desired thickness

Skinning is a powerful method to create surface or solid objects from a set of source shapes and a set of paths. There are tools for Smooth Skin, Meshed Skin, and Cross Skin

Booleans allow for the creation of new forms through the Union, Intersection, or Difference of 3D solid objects. The Split, Slice, Line of intersection offer similar capabilities for surfaces

Stitching enables the joining of surfaces and the creation of solids for a closed set of surfaces

The Section tools allow for the creation of 2D and 3D sections of models

Advanced Meshing tools give real control over facets of a model. These include the 3D Mesh, Polygion Mesh, Reduce Mesh and Polygonize tools

Displacement creates a 3D object by added relief to a meshed surface based on an image creating the effect of the image being pushed through the surface

3D Text Creation, Editing and Search and Replace

Advanced 3D Text tools: Text Along Path, Parallel Text, and Text Between Two Paths

Dimensions (Linear, Angular, Radial Leader Line and Notes.)

The transformation suite of tools includes Move, Rotate, Uniform Scale, Independent Scale, and Mirror. These can be applied to objects, lights, cameras and guides as well as object parts

The Extend tool allows you to expand an object to an adjacent object

Advanced transformations such as transformation macros that allow for a set of transformations to be defined and then re-applied to any object in the project

The Align/Distribute tool aligns them or distributes a set of objects based on a variety of optional criteria

The Place Along Path and Place On tools create copies of objects along a path or on the faces of an existing object
