Intersect Studio

Read full description

Intersect Studio is a reference and study tool for understanding how 3D forms meet, overlap, and define structure. Build geometric scenes, visualize intersections, and explore structure through outlines, lighting, and perspective. Capture precise visual references for drawing, design, or spatial study. FEATURES Intersections See exactly where forms meet with precise intersection lines. Toggle visibility, adjust thickness, and control whether occluded intersections are shown. Structure and Outlines Show clean outlines around forms. Enable see-through rendering to reveal internal edges and understand complex geometry. Lighting and Shadows Adjust light direction with a sky-dome interface. Control intensity and enable shadows for added depth and realism. Perspective Control Smoothly transition from orthographic to wide-angle to telephoto views. Frame your scene from any angle. Precise Transforms Move, rotate, and scale with axis handles or scrubbing controls. Enable snapping for exact measurements in world or local space. Shapes and Scenes Start with six basic shapes: planes, cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and pyramids. Combine them to create complex arrangements. Save and Export Save scenes and build your own reference library. Export high-quality PNG images directly to your Photos library. Workspace Customization Toggle procedural sky, infinite ground grid, and coordinate axes. Adjust your environment to focus on what matters. Full History Undo and redo support for all transforms, additions, and deletions. Work confidently knowing you can always go back. --- Start exploring today!

About

CADSketch

Features
Read full description

CADSketch turns freehand drawing into precise 2D geometry — and then into 3D parts — on iPhone and iPad. Sketch with your finger or Apple Pencil. CADSketch recognizes lines, arcs, and circles and cleans them up with a constraint solver, so rough strokes become exact, well-proportioned geometry. Close a profile and it extrudes into a solid you can orbit in 3D. • Draw and auto-constrain — strokes snap to clean lines, arcs, and circles; drag a point and edges snap to horizontal, vertical, or parallel • Extrude closed profiles into 3D solids, viewed as wireframe or shaded • Sketch on a face to add material or cut into a part, with the direction and result shown clearly • Import DXF drawings as sketches; export parts as STL for 3D printing • Turn text into sketches and emboss it onto a surface • Build multi-part assemblies with mates • Drag points to edit; the geometry re-solves live No account, no sign-in, and your work stays on your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CADSketch at none against Intersect Studio's 3. CADSketch also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
