Sorry if this has been posted; I looked and did not find it. My experience is that architectural walls are non-functional, I get crashes, windows and doors don't work and walls don't export to earlier versions.

Does anybody use this tool?

Obviously I have not used it in a while, it used to be great. I am reconstructing my plans in V7 to see how that goes. Of course with no export, it is a pain. I have attached a file for entertainment purposes. When I try selecting a wall or window, it just crashes.

And, just to beat a dead horse, what happened to the "option" or "command" flipper to change the side the wall appears on? That was a great feature, really a great speed increase.

BTW my last 40 minutes on V7 have been crash free.

Good point Art !!

Option to flip could and should be used throughout the tools - it's great

More consistency please

Very Nice, many I have not thought of.

Perhaps arc generation, also wonder if it could help with selecting surfaces for decals (that bug really gets me)

Thanks,
