Nice video. It would also be good to see a video on how Swood functionality actually compares to Solidworks in built functionality. I.e. I believe you can achieve much of this with a little effort from just Solidworks out the box. So it would be useful to see just HOW much better / where the comparative advantages are in using Swood to justify the further outlay. Thanks for the informative video though. 👍

Can "boxes" and rules be added to curved/prism surfaces? Ie. we have curved or slanted side panels and we want to add connectors and shelves with conectors to it. Is SWOOD able to calculate the positions bases on tangents to the surface and unrolled length of sides? Can it calculate slanted cuts in any direction? That would be very helpful as not all furniture are rectangular, especially in tight, irregular spaces and caravans/boats/idiomatic architecture.
