Saying they're the same is like saying Notepad2 and Sublime are the same, both have status bars which indicate place in text, both support copy+pasting of text, etc.

If you have a 3d modeling program of some sort, of course it will have an object manager which shows components like your model, the lights, the sky, a position box that tells you current size/rotation information of whatever component, your current viewport settings, etc. And since it's a cloud thing, like Fusion360 it has an asset manager which probably works more or less the same way.

Unless you're fundamentally reinventing the wheel in some aspect, they ARE going to be the same in a lot of places.

You do not understand. I am not saying it is similar or inspired, it is the same app.

I assure you I am not mistaken in this claim.

I don't know why you have to be so condescending with your comment, but as someone who has used Goo Create, I am willing to bet money that it is the same app.

Hm, was I really condescending in my comment? I've gone back to re-read it and it doesn't strike me as condescending, indeed when I wrote the comment I wrote it simply in a matter-of-factly way with no emotion.

But maybe I slipped. Can you please point out which part was condescending? (serious request; am interested in improving my written speech to be both clear and not condescending in any way)

For what it's worth, I didn't find your comment condescending at all and was puzzled at that remark.
