New parasol training video? come GS

[rob2218]

come on GS, please....when are you going to make some good stairs.
How often do we need a "parasol object" video?
we need better stairs that are easy to work with.
we need better control of lineweights and pens.
we need composite materials settings where you can change the shape of the different materials within a composites.
we need better roof objects.
we need to be able to do custom GDL better.
we need better/easier customizable object creation.....

we DONT need to know how to work the "parasol object"....

sorry but it's stuff like this that really set me off like John Wick. We need better day to day components, not better obscure library objects.

Hi Bricklyne:

After you messaged me that I had sent my pm to you by mistake (!), we did in fact, exchange several pms with predictable results and you made your feelings very clear.

My pm to Robby was to try to head off a contentious exchange that the two of you were having in the AC 20 Announced thread. I was also interested in contacting him because he and I are both in So Cal and I was interested in his experience with AC and that maybe we could share ideas.

I don't disagree with you about many of AC's shortcomings, but I have a different take on Graphisoft's motives.

Don

Hi Don,

Thank you for your attempt to pm me- I never got it- but ran into it here on this thread. Hilarious, don't you think?

Hello to you too Bricklyne, without you, I would never have gotten Don's message. So I guess thank you....though hard to believe you meant for me to see it given you placed it in a different thread. Now why would you do that?

Then again, why would you post a private message that was clearly meant for me and that was clearly sent to you in error? Seems in poor taste don't you think?

You should have ignored the message, or notified Don of his error, or forwarded the message privately to me; instead of what you did. Very poor judgement on your part and very telling.

Just one more thing before I let you have the last word:
Instead of so much talk of the many shortcomings of AC, why don't you take the bull by the horns and get yourself a job at GS and fix AC once and for all?

Just came back from vacation so I am joining this conversation a bit late.
For me these kind of posts are what sets me off like John Wick.

Creating that object took probably a couple of man days of work. Creating that clip took a few hours. And you compare that to projects that require hundreds or thousands or even more man hours. How are these things on the same order of magnitude? On your list at least 3 are huge huge projects (a new stair tool, custom object creation, changing geometry of skins of composites are the first 3 that stand out for me).

Also, you pick a single clip. When finished there will be over 100 New Feature Clips about ARCHICAD 20. And you pick a single one of those clips and you make the huge generalization that the whole GRAPHISOFT development team is wasting their time on such things instead of focusing on the really important things. Now that is what sets ME off.

Guys, you are talking about several AC issues which remains for a long time. And Stair still is a design tool that lacks huge improvements.

In this case, I have developed with GDL programming a single run stair which has simple and useful features:

I'm not going to lie, but that is pretty danged impressive.

Even for a non-English interface, I could see how intuitive it is and at the same time comprehensive and really well-thought out and customizable.

AND.. parametric.

If you're able to get a multi-flight or multi-run version of it and an English interface, you'll really have something special on your hands.


Good job.

Thanks Bricklyne!

Multi-flight and multi-run stair is something that I have already put in my mind, your advice is very relevant.

The Easy Stair has lower and higher junctions which allows to be combined with landings or slabs. In this case, it seems the ArchiCAD ones.

I have create a specific topic about it in "Other Products" Section.
