AC10 New 3D Navigation

[ArcAngel]

I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.

Graphisoft have thrown out the baby with the bath water. For the sake of a gimmicky adolescent user interface we have lost simple panning, rotation, smooth movement, editing (albeit after clicking on an icon) and the ability to smoothly rotate a 3D view of an object in its 3D window.

Am I missing something here or have we lost much more than we have gained?

I may be looking for a refund on my upgrade!

not really the point of having a saved work environment though, if it's not future proof . . .

Of course. To save it is primarlily for safety, re-installations, and for in-house distribution I think. I don't believe in a future-proof work environment. I'd have to foresee all possible evolutions of the base software (archicad). But I'm not into religion 😉

A future-proof environment

Isn't that what the various fundamentalist sects are seeking?
Perhaps that's what you mean by your reference to religion.

Hey, don't you really miss having eight simultaneous views of your project open, and having to type two pages of UNIX code to print a drawing?
