Make an adjustment in one view, and it's made in all views. Isn't that what you'd expect a design program to do?" Sand said. Because Design Intuition uses OpenGL software, users can view their designs in 3D to see what the finished product will look like.The Design Intuition Contest"We wanted to give users a chance to show off their woodworking design skills," Knowles said.
