the fundamental observation I make is that in ArchiCAD a lot of real estate needs to be moused over in clicking radio buttons and highlighting boxes to operate ArhciCAD relative to LightWave
In ArhciCAD the entire interface is turgid and uncoordinated - even to box width modules. PErhaps the compromise is to make the dialogs re-sizeable or something.....and i think that this is the reason that not all palettes are dockable yet. the width modules have improved . . . and i would hope those that don't correspond to the palette module yet will be addressed in the next release.

I would only be so gentle and compromising with you since you seem to be afraid of change.
We early adopters are just the beginning of the flood of new users once ArchCAD takes over the world so it should become a modern interface soon.. . . of course i'm really waiting for virtual-reality gloves so that i can get into the model with a virtual hammer nails and build the thing myself. a bit slow, but wouldn't that wake architects up to the reality of construction . . . ?
