cause every time I hit the space in the wrong place, the calculation started and ended up me killing the AC process via task manager and this happened like 50+ times. I had to tape my space to avoid pressing it and to avoid the precalculations for the "boundaries" of the magic wand tool. (6)These precalculation operations like the magic wand tool are destroying the fluent work. We don't need the whole time the perfect presentation view which is slow af. (5)we need different view styles for working (low quality, mid, and presentation) like in InDesign or Illustrator. We need CMYK, we need hex color codes, we nee a way better handling of jpeg, png etc, we need transparencies, we a decent layout tool with the possibility to create a whole layout with different pages in one view like the artboards in Illustrator and a lot more (4)visualization of 2D drawings was cruel and every change took 15min+. (3)Working on drawings was a pain in the ass on this scale If anybody says "Use the mesh-tool", I will explode (1)The site model tools in AC are non-existent. This blue loading ring has burned into my retina. Just some cubes, some trees, and this wavy road. And I'm wondering cause our design is so basic.
we are going back to rhino+grasshoper+illustator for this kinda work. We couldn't produce the results we had in mind. Right now I don't believe AC can handle it and I think they will all stay in Rhino. Their projects are way more complex and out of the "standard" world. I don't know how to recommend AC to my students I teach 2 times a year. (for example, fill a Spline with a surface/fill/hatch or show us the corrupted part to heal the spline) Processes AC couldn't handle rhino did in seconds. The moment we switched to rhino+grasshopper it was fluent and speedy (like 4 hours before deadline). software shouldn't restrict what to design.
the support told us in a joke to change the design which made me furious. we tried everything to make the thing not so complex. I can't imagine doing much bigger and complex projects in AC. we had so much trouble doing the urban planing in AC. I'm really disappointed with AC since the weekend.
