Every part picks up clutter. Features that do nothing, names like Cut‑Extrude14, questions with no one around to ask. FixtureLabs Plugin sits inside your CAD and cleans up the part you have open, so you spend less time untangling it and more time designing.

See it in action. Inside SOLIDWORKS.

Simplify, Organize, Ask and Find, on a real part.

Four tools. One panel.

Each one works on the part you have open. Press + to try it.

Simplify

Out with the features that do nothing. It switches each one off and measures. Same shape, fewer features.

Organize

Names that say what they are. Cut‑Extrude2 becomes 60x40 Cut, or Pocket 60×40 D8 with FixtureAI.

Ask

A tutor that can see your part. Every answer points at a real feature.

Find

Need a screw? Say which one. Real catalogue parts, dropped into your assembly.

Built to be trusted

Safe to try on any part.

Nothing changes that you didn’t ask for.

Your original stays original.

Simplify writes a clean copy.

No guessing.

Every result is measured.

Docks right in.

Will it change my part?

Simplify never edits your part. It saves a clean copy, like “part 2_clean”, next to the original. Organize renames features in the part you have open, only the ones still called things like Cut‑Extrude2, and you check every name first. In Inventor one Ctrl+Z puts them all back; SOLIDWORKS can’t undo a rename.

How does Simplify decide what can go?

It switches each feature off, one at a time, and measures the part: volume, surface area and centre of mass. If nothing moves, that feature was doing nothing. It’s a measurement, not a guess.

Can I choose how features get named?

Yes, with FixtureAI names (All Access). Write your naming rule once, for example “Say what the feature is, then its main size”, and Organize follows it on every part. Free quick names use a fixed style, like “60x40 Cut”. Either way, every name is a suggestion you can type over or skip.

Where does Find get its parts?

From McMaster-Carr and GrabCAD. Search for what you need, pick one, and it downloads the 3D model and places it in your open assembly, or opens it as a part.

What’s free, and what needs All Access?

Simplify, quick names in Organize, and Find are free with a FixtureLabs account. Ask and AI names in Organize come with All Access.

Does it work on a Mac?

Not yet. The plugin runs on Windows.

How do I install it?
