Bill-BuilderGO3D Engineering
Your Beer Man design workspace
Cut sections, place components, organize parts and prepare drawings in Bill-Builder. Keep your complete project, then take the exact files into CAD when you need them.
The actual C01 character. Your choices. One saved project.
Go straight to the work
Choose a task for its controls and a short guide. Opening a tool leaves your geometry unchanged.
01 / CUT & SECTION
Select a body region or position a cut plane. Inspect the retained side on the model, then use Queue this cut to keep its settings in your project.
A named cut is a saved design instruction. Generate its own STEP after making your final adjustment.
02 / COMPONENT PLACEMENT
Open Design with library → Library. Import a STEP or STL component and choose Choose fit & preview. Position it on a picked scan surface, at a datum or relative to a parent part; inspect the preview before committing.
Surface normals and inward offsets assist placement. The layout screen does not certify running clearance, motion or structural strength.
03 / PARTS & LAYERS
Name layers, isolate a part and control visibility. Add the part number, material, revision and notes before producing drawings or handing the project back.
These project properties follow saved revisions and complete-project files. Imported STEP metadata does not recreate a native CAD feature tree.
04 / LOCAL SURFACE FIT
In Surface & color → Automatic scan → NURBS, pick a small patch and set its size and tolerance. Fit the patch, inspect the deviation result and export the accepted STEP sheet.
This creates a local open surface. It does not automatically rebuild the full character into a smooth, watertight solid.
05 / REVIEW DRAWINGS
In Export → Prepare shop drawing, choose the selected geometry or visible assembly. Add the title and revision, then create front, top and side views with dimensions.
Save the scaled SVG/PDF and full-size millimetre DXF views. Check dimensions and engineering requirements before using a sheet for fabrication.
06 / EXACT-REVISION EXPORT
Select the region or saved cut. Choose Export selection → STEP → Generate review STEP. Wait for Ready, download the ZIP and extract its STEP.
The current C01 STEP service makes bounded faceted review solids. Changing the cut requires a new export. STL is mesh geometry; a DXF is a drawing or section profile.
07 / PROJECT & REVISION HISTORY
Use Save complete project to retain the review geometry and design recipe in a .go3d.json file. Use Open complete project to continue that work. Save a named checkpoint before a major change.
Cloud history keeps design settings and revisions; a complete-project download also carries the review meshes. Keep original supplier CAD separately.
08 / REVIEW & COMMENT
Open Project QA, describe one issue or improvement, add the relevant revision and choose its priority. Keep the receipt so you can update that item and see its recorded result.
For CAD feedback, include the exact file, part, units and operation. A useful report says what you tried and what happened.
