Dear Rhino Team,
I want to express my sincere admiration for the Rhino team and my overall satisfaction with working with Rhino. Your team has consistently delivered a great product over the years. However, I feel compelled to share some feedback:
I’ve been a Rhino user since V2, and it has been our primary 3D tool at our company for a decade. Until recently, we have always been delighted with the performance and the continuous improvements with each new version. Unfortunately, since upgrading three of our licenses to R8, we have encountered significant issues.
The problems include lagging display performance, delays in selection, Rhino and system crashes. It feels somewhat akin to a product that ripens with the customer, resembling a beta-testing phase rather than a stable release for commercial use.
While I understand that issues can arise during the development process, it’s concerning when such challenges persist after the product has been officially released. Consequently, we have decided to roll back to R7 and eagerly anticipate updates that address these issues and make R8 a more suitable choice for our workflow.
Best regards,
Robert
