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.

Extrude Vectors as 3D Shapes
Extrusion is a technique where a flat 2D shape or surface is pulled out to give it depth. Vector extrusion would allow users to import vectors as paths, then extrude those paths into 3D shapes. This would include some additional parameters like hard or rounded corners.
267 votesHey all! We’re taking a look at adding extrusion to Dimension later this year. We’re combining this with a text tool and hope to support vector/text extrusion later this year. I’ll update here as we progress!

Package Design - Create 3D Model from Dyeline/Blueprint
I'd like to be able to build a product package from a dieline created in Illustrator, fold it along specific lines, give it a UV gloss on parts, add foiling and embossing where required.
203 votesHello everyone! I hope you’ve had a great holiday season. We’re just getting back from the break and I’m excited to say we’re moving forward with some great research and design on our dieline > 3D model feature. We have a survey with some questions from the research team. Any time is greatly appreciated!

Text Tool
A Text tool, for creating flat and 3D text.
144 votesHello everyone. Excited to say we’ve started some investigations for adding text to Dimension later this year. We’re initially looking at 3D text but may also include 2D text or decal text in the future. I’ll update here as we progress!

Create Original Models
Capabilities to model original objects
136 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.

Basic 3D shape presets with options
I would like some basic 3D modelling parameters such as torus diameter etc
48 votesWe’ve started some design work for basic parametric primitives, 3D shapes like cubes, cones, spheres, etc, that can be used to build up some fundamentals to work with.
I will update you all as we move forward on this!

3D Model Effects (twist, bend, shatter)
Effects are used on a model to change the basic shape in some manner. Common examples are twist, bend, and shatter.

2D > 3D Modeling (Lathe, Extrude, Loft)
Similar to conventional 3D software, Felix should have the ability to create 3D images from 1/2D wireframes. ie. a 1D line is drawn (a circle), the 1D drawing is filled to create 2nd dimension. The 2D shape is then scaled from surface to create a cylinder (3rd dimension). This offers a much more methodical and flexible approach to creating wireframes/models. Further example: using a series of curved lines to create a tapered bottle wireframe (like a shampoo bottle that is crimped at the top). The user is then able to then create a mesh that follows this curved lines >…

Sculpting
If there's a way to create a sculpt mode where the model was more like clay that would be extremely useful for more organic shapes. A great example of what I'm talking about is Mudbox. It would probably need to support tablets first. It would also be great to have this feature connected to CC brushes etc.

Cut Tool to Split Models
There needs to be a way to cut or splice the model to create points that can be stretched, rotated or moved from the object separate from the rest of it.

Object Deformation Puppet Warp
Puppet warp tool: would allow to deform objects easily.
5 votesInteresting! Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Edit Object Points / Vertices
ability to move points of an object, and create objects similar to the pen tool in illustrator

cross section
Is there any plans to include cross section feature? that can be very helpful to built empty boxes from any object.
4 votesHi!
Thanks so much for your feedback, and for using Dimension!
Cross section of 3D models seems like a great idea to visualize complex objects/interiors and assign materials to them.
I’d love to understand more about your idea of using cross sections. Could you give some examples of how you would use this feature? -
Generate Hair and Fur
is it possible to create fuzy/fur covered objects? i have a 3D puppy and it needs to be fluffy.
4 votesAt the moment it is not possible to create fur and hair systems in Dimension (realistic hair strands). For a flat texture or hair planes, these are things you would create in another modeling system and import with the item.
Since this is an idea based forum, please only post suggestions. I will edit this one to be a proposal for hair/fur generator.

3d Capture Scan Object in Capture CC App
How about make "capture" able to capture 3d models? Like the 3d max one could some years ago?

Create and Render Fire Effects
Why is there no way to make fire?!?!!?
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! Fire is a pretty complex force, something we’ll keep in mind is these types of generated effects (fire, water, other particle or simulation based effects) but it’s probably a while down the road!

Chamfer Corners
More controls of objects such as truncating corners.

Ability to slice an object with a plane
For instance, I'd like to take a sphere and chop it in half (hemisphere) or possibly slice some other object at a particular angle.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! Are you creating abstract art type of things with this? Is there something in particular you’re trying to build?
- Don't see your idea?
