Just like the wish list.
Barry.
Just one little problem with your analogy (of my analogy).
The light eventually DOES turn green for the person crossing the street.
However long it takes.
Or however long(er) it may seem to take for he person pushing the button.
Typically within their lifetime, and more usually within some minutes.
There are some wishes in the wishlist section that have been there for the better part of two decades running into three now and I wouldn't put money against them potentially being there beyond some of our lifetimes.
Even the beam cover fills that they're crowing about finally having done in the latest version, prior to that I can recall had been in the wishlist section for as long as I've been using this program (since the '90's, just to be clear).
You see the other problem (going back to the analogy to extend it a bit farther), if I keep pushing that button and I see it just not turning green fast enough, I might think it's broken or something and I might decide to find some other crosswalk to cross from whose buttons is actually working (or seems to be working to me).
Furthermore it won't matter to me once I've done that, whether or not the light at the previous crosswalk (eventually) turned green after I left there.
I was left with the belief that it was broken, and that was all that mattered in influencing me to make the decision to seek another recourse.
Do you see what I'm saying here?
(hint: that other crosswalk in the analogy is ArchiCAD's rival programs or the developers of ArchiCAD's competitors).
Sometimes in life the perception you create (intentionally or inadvertently), becomes the only reality that exists for the people to whom you're catering to.
And Graphisoft are not doing themselves any favours with the perception they're creating of their product and their view of their own customers.
