I could produce many other examples.

I've been watching this discussion, but decided against commenting. Now I'm intrigued, and I can't resist asking... what would you change about OBJECTiVE to make it fit into ArchiCAD better? We've worked hard to make our software work as seamlessly as possible. This will sound too much like an advert if I spout off about it here, but the actions we've taken are all listed here for anyone who's interested:http://www.encina.co.uk/add-onconcerns.html
We've also never charged users for updates when new versions of AC arrive - when AC12 is released, existing OBJECTiVE users can simply insert the latest version and carry on as normal.

The process should be completely seamless, as if you were doing an ordinary 2D Split or Rotate. Contact me if you find this is not the case and I'll sort it out.
Objective is one of the more accessible and higher quality set of add-ons for ArchiCAD, out there; just based on the simplicity of usage and its general intuitiveness. During the brief experience I had with it, and consequently the drawback I encountered, all had to do with the fact that once any ArchiCAD construction element - say a beam, or a railing for example, was rotated (or otherwise a manipulated) using Objective's 3D-rotate tool, that element stops reading as an ArchiCAD construction element and consequently cannot be further parametrically edited through it's ArchiCAD settings dialog box;
