I presume the solid edge treatments under the solid feature have been removed.

Is there a reason for that? Those features were very helpful in designing housings that mate with each other.

Removing features feels like we have been short changed. Now, I would have to design using V12 where those commands are there. Looks like a step back in upgrading to V14 unless the developers forgot to include those commands.

What is the specific name of the v12 command that seems missing in v14?

What is this? I can't find a 'Solid Modify' and I also can't find 'Solid Edge Treatments'.

Oh wow Tim, I would think you know the software like I do. Anyhow, here's the picture off V12 those commands are not in V14 as well as the Rib command. See picture.

Hi, I can chime in and maybe answer this one:
They are still there in SharkCAD 14 - see encl screenshot:

The really problematic/ tragic/ missing feature in v14 is that rendering is completely changed from what did work and probably incurred a licence fee, to some inferior solution that may be shareware for what I know. Nobody knows how to use the new one, no manuals or instructions is made yet. And we now have lost what was one of the good points of the software.
Were any of us longtime users asked about this, no we were not! So apart from an updated 3D Acis kernel and a v14 that works with current macOS operating systems we now have a SharkCAD v14 which is INFERIOR to what we had in v12. This is not a smart move!

That's odd. What build are you using? Could I have downloaded the wrong version?

Are these tools now only in the Pro version?

In the non-Pro versions, some tools have only been removed from the tool palette but are still available in the menu.

Deform face tool (the one that puffs up solid surfaces) is missing. Not used everyday, yet one of those super stealthy and handy options.
