How does Creo compare? I'm a Rhino used myself so I can only marvel at NX etc. but I still get the job done, eventually J Creo used to be known as Pro-Engineer (Pro-E), excellent piece of Software used by lots of big companies. On a par with Catia. They used to say if you were designing a car you'd use Catia for the surfacing and Pro-E for the engine and gearbox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought most large firms would use NX or CATIA, or perhaps Solidworks... How does Creo compare? I'm a Rhino used myself so I can only marvel at NX etc. but I still get the job done, eventually J Creo was called Pro/ENGINEER back in the day, it has just been rebranded a couple of times when they started to run out of numbers. They started with the Pro/E 1-20-2001, then it was rebranded Pro/E Wildfire 1-5, and finally Creo. Currently up to version 8 or so, so I expect another name change soon Pro/E was the first parametric CAD-tool back in 1987, and has been favored by designs for casting, forging and so on. Catia has had a greater focus on surface modelling, better suited for crunching sheet metal. Now, they are more or less equal (like MacOS/Windows or iOS/Android) I've been using it professionally for 16 years now, so I'm quite at home with it's way of working.

JeffreyK Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thank you very much, every day is a school day Reading about its complexity I guess I'd better steer clear (let alone the cost of course)... I've been using Rhino now for about 8 years but I think I only explored and mastered about 1/10 of it's functions. But CAD is only ONE tool of many I use, sometimes weeks pass without touching CAD. Back to the Flanker: I received my Su-27 (Flanker B ) today ... wow what a kit, such detailed parts right out of the box! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 Released Source: https://www.facebook.com/Great.Wall.Hobby/posts/639947740759910 Quote G.W.H (Great Wall Hobby) the first work of 2022 finally hit the market, which let us wait a long time. The L4830 SU-30SM is also the Great Wall Hobby's first version of the Christmas box, which was unveiled in the first quarter of the New Year to great surprise. But it's definitely something worth waiting for, and there will be unexpected gifts when it comes out, and the Eastereo eggs are coming soon. Christmas Special Edition (Once only) [Figure 1] Future copies [Figure 2] The SU-30SM is the masterpiece of the Su-27 family. It inherits the salient features of the original SU-27 and foreshadows the final SU-35. At the same time, the canard design on both sides of the bow adds a personalized appearance. So far, the Great Wall model SU-27 family series of main models of the product line are basically all covered. L4830 1/48 SU-30SM as a starting force, more than 80% of the plates in the kit are new die. As 1/48 series of products, Great Wall focuses on the operability of model making while pursuing details reduction. The kit comes with a wealth of ordnance, decals and printing scheme (11 weapons, new dedicated electronic pods, and 8 schemes).
