| Product Description | DesignWorkshop is the first real 3D design tool for creating form in space. Not just modeling - creating. DesignWorkshop allows you to quickly and creatively sketch spatial ideas in live 3D perspective, then develop and refine them efficiently with simple yet powerful and accurate editing tools. Traditional drafting software only works in two dimensions, like pencil and paper. |
