Adobe Dimension: Feature Requests
When entering a new feature request, please provide specific details. Why is this feature valuable to you? Give an example of how you would use it in a workflow.
-
Create Original Models
Capabilities to model original objects
108 votesHello everyone! The Dimension team is very interested in the topic of creation/modeling/editing as a whole. We haven’t added any creation so far, but are actively researching this area. We have a new survey on modeling and editing and would love your thoughts on the topic!
-
Combine/Subtract Models (Booleans/Pathfinder)
Booleans are the 3D equivalent of pathfinder, allowing you to take two shapes and combine or subtract their volumes from each other. For example, taking a cube then using a cylinder to 'cut' a hole through the cube.

Import .stp STEP files
Dimension would be much more useful if it could import standard cad formats such as .stp files.
52 votesHello all! We recently added several new formats including .stl, .skp, and .fbx. However .stp/.step was not included and is still under review.
-
Liquid Creation
When importing 3d models such as bottles, it would be nice if Adobe Dimension could add a liquid fill feature so that the bottle can represent a real beverage or condiment product.

-
Integrate with After Effects
Integrate in some way with after effects so we can use 3d in motion rather than just in stills.
44 votes:) What kind of integration would you be looking for? Do you want to export animation from Felix? Or do you want to take the 3d models into AE for animating there with C4D lite?
-
Animation Presets
Basic animation presets would be used to create turn arounds, fly-throughs, orbits, and other quick camera and object movements. These would likely include some parameters for customization such as speed, distance, and duration. Presets would not expose a full timeline and allow key framing for all properties initially.

Background Layer Controls (position, rotate, scale)
Currently the background image is simply projected as is with some basic controls for choosing between scale modes (crop, fit, or scale). Controls would allow you to position, rotate, and scale the background image freely in relation to the camera.

Basic 3D shape presets with options
I would like some basic 3D modelling parameters such as torus diameter etc

Import / Add Custom Items to Assets
So far, so good! It would be nice to have the import / add models UI also included in the models modal.

Render Selected area.
Render just a selection.
28 votesThanks for the suggestion! Can I ask for a bit more detail? Would you want to define an area of the screen and have that keep rendering even if you change your camera? Or just like a quick “Show me this area” then it goes away?
-
Create 3d .pdf files
I would like to be able to create 3d .pdf files so I can show my clients interactive 3d models.
27 votesHello! The Dimension team is gathering some feedback around various export requests. If you’re interested in providing more detail on your request for exporting workflows, please take a moment to fill out the following brief survey:
-
Folding and Special Printing Effects
Can we have special printing effects simulated over the packaging designs - like UV, Foil, Embossing.... it would be excellent!
26 votesSomething we’re interested in exploring! I’d love to know how you’d envision this workflow, in your own words.
-
Fuse Characters
Dimension should import fuse files.
25 votesHey everyone, Jeanette with the Dimension team here. We are conducting a survey all about 3D Characters!
—
This survey takes 10 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open until Friday, March 22nd at 12:00 PM PT.
Here is the link for the survey:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FXGB5PDAt the end of the survey, you will have the option to indicate whether you are interested in participating in a 60-minute, 1:1 research interview about 3D characters. Selected participants will receive a $100 USD Amazon gift card as a thank you for their time, upon completion of the interview.

Render Round Corners
I could be valuable to add "Round Corners" feature to the render engine.
If it really Vray under Felix, I guess that this feature already exist, and it could be cool to expose it in Felix.The goal is to give more realism to basic shapes (lighter models) and to go faster...
24 votesYeah this is a VRay feature we’ve thought about. It just rounds out the edges a little bit to give them a more natural, less ‘hard’ look. I think it could be very valuable! Thanks for posting!
-
Background Rendering
Ideally I would like to be able to work and render at the same time. So consider have a separate tab or window for the render. This way I can render high quality in the background, while working on a new model, scene, etc in the foreground.
22 votesThanks for the suggestion! Definitely something that would help fill up those render times, and something we’re considering!
-
Preset Camera Views
Snap to views: front, side back, bottom.
Allow to choose object relative to snap view too as well.
21 votesThank you for the suggestion! Absolutely top/back, etc. views are very helpful. Something we are looking into!
-
360 background image
I would like to be able to use a 360 still or video with Dimension so that when I rotate the view the background rotates in relation to the objects in the center.

Control Presets for Other 3D Software
The first thing you want to do when you get into a new 3D app, is learn to move around. It's the thing you actually do the most.
I feel like every time I go into a new 3D package every one is always trying to make you conform to their new controle system... I think that you should have the ability to manuver with the same controles from your most familiar package.
Cinema 4d
Maya
Max
BlenderBlender actually has this feature, and I always choose Maya controles...
Back when before it was Autodesk Maya and it was still…
20 votesGreat suggestion! We definitely want to be aware of users coming from other packages and making sure everyone is comfortable. :)

change object size/dimensions without distorting graphics.
Currently if I modify an object the placed graphic (whether it has already be placed or will be placed later) becomes distorted, this is wildly frustrating. All I would like to do is use the plane surface and put a graphic on it and the plane be the same size as the graphic, as far as I can tell, and this includes plenty of time with support, this is not possible.
18 votesThank you for the feedback! Just to be sure I understand, you want to first apply a decal to the object then stretch the model to match the decals size without deforming the graphic, correct?
