      • History visualizer

        Provides a new way of visualizing the flow of construction history in your Alias files. 

      • Surface fillet

        G2 curvature/Arc creates a fillet that has curvature lead-in and maintains a more arc-shaped section.

      • Proportional Crown

        This capability has been added to Skin, Surface Fillet, Multi-Surface Draft, and Free Form Blend.

      • Dynamo Wheel Arch script

        Quickly create wheel arches using a Dynamo sample file, saving you time when building a new vehicle concept model.

      • Transform tool

        Modify components such as CVs, hulls, and edges. Transform entities without moving off the selected plane.

      • SUBD Align to Curve

        New options allow for better control over how subdivision CVs align to curves and surface boundaries.

      • Visual Clip

        A visual clipping plane tool now exists in Alias Concept for quick visual sectioning and clip of geometry.

      • Anti-aliasing

        A supersampling option increases the anti-alias quality by a factor of 4, resulting in a quality of up to 64x.

      • Replace shader by name

        The ability to replace shaders by name when you import Alias supported geometry with shader assignments.

      • Create VR

        An immersive conceptual design tool that lets designers explore form in 3D using simple curve and surface tools.

      • SUBD and Dynamo tutorials

        SUBD and Dynamo tutorials and exercises for Alias, including example files and 3 special Alias 2021 scripts.

      Alias 2020

      • Subdivision modeling tools

        Subdivision surfaces in Alias integrate the strengths of adaptive subdivision with native NURBS surface technology.

      • Layer operations

        Copy/paste a layer within a folder to be outside or inside of the original folder structure.

      • File > Share view

        Disable the share view option using an environment variable.

      • Save file author options

        Save the file author information under the save information section when saving or exporting a file.

      • Pick behavior improvements

        Pick a curve by selecting on a hull or CV; selecting directly on the curve is no longer required for certain tools.

      • Draw style options

        Draw style options for the subdivision surface geometry and control cage manipulator support new SUBD features.
