Autodesk 123D is free* 3D modeling software combined with content and fabrication services that work together, so you can create, explore, and fabricate your project. One of the biggest differences between most 3D modelling software.
And then somewhere along the line I was prompted to install Makerbots MakerWare software, and so I did. After it installed, it prompted me to install the Autodesk 3D Print Utility, which I did. Autodesk 123D provides useful tools for making things-for quickly giving shape to your idea, exploring it, and most importantly, making it. Autodesk 123D Design is a powerful, but easy to use software application that enables people to create detailed 2D and 3D models. I had read that Autodesk would be supporting the direct-3D-print function in 123D Design, and so I installed it. The design of the clip was completed using an iterative process: A 3D model of the bridge suspension cable (to which the clips would attach) was created from photographs of the cables.
They delivered their 123D software to make it all so much easier. Autodesk® 123D™ software can make that possible. A small but important part of the Bay Lights project is a custom plastic clip that attaches the LED lights to the suspension cables on the bridge. Heres a list of archived Autodesk community forums that may contain more information about defunct. The 123D apps are being consolidated into other Autodesk products and is. When you have an idea, you want to create it, make it, and hold it in your hand.
