Save Import Dynamo sample file locations so that you can drag and drop scripts to a shelf. 

Create, modify, and select objects and components using selection sets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You can now replace shaders by name when you import Alias supported geometry with shader assignments.

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

Get SubD and Dynamo tutorials and exercises for Alias, including example files and three special Alias 2021 scripts.

Draw and edit with integrated tools. Capture lines, circles, and ellipses with predictive strokes.

Fast, repeatable, curve-based modeling tools let you directly edit and sculpt 3D models.

Get a complete concept model workflow, from sketch to final concept model.

Sketches from Photoshop can be linked to Alias. Changes to sketches are dynamically updated in Alias.

Quickly manipulate your product model and explore shape variations on 3D forms without rebuilding geometry.

3D sculpt surfaces by directly adjusting surface control vertices. Use curve-based tools, direct modeling, and more.

Use the deck seam (similar to a flat fell seam) to create a deck shape and stitch along an edge or curved surface.

Use tools that help you create mathematical shapes. Control pitch with the Revolve tool and more.

Use the Multiblend tool to easily generate nice-looking, hard-to-build surfaces and make smooth transitions between surfaces.

Study your surfaces in a virtual lighting studio with the Light Tunnel tool.

Quickly generate complex repeatable patterns, and enable rapid design iterations and exploration.

Simplify uniform and nonuniform objects using arrays. Create arrays of lines and surfaces in 2D and 3D.

Take concept modeling to a new level with the strengths of adaptive subdivision controls combined with native NURBS surface technology in Alias.

Refit your digital model to the changed physical model.

Create a surface on mesh with one of three surface types. Update original data with scanned clay data.

Create Class-A surfaces with speed and control.
