In WIP (9.0.26076.6305, 2026-03-17), the Smooth setting in the Gumball settings doesn’t seem to work at all. It’s always snappy.

I understand that some people have a different opinion and taste, this is why I always mention the importance of having options and keeping the general look and feeling of Gumball the way it’s known by the long-term Rhino users. The Super Gumball (extra “Drag strength” handles and the gesture to swa…

@Gijs @Joshua_Kennedy Another example: [gumball rotation] Rotation. I try many times but because of the new feature, ortho angle is lost, all of my many attempts result in a random angle. My last attempt is with OSnap disabled. (I have ortho set at 45° btw) The only solution here is to press …

@maje90 yes that’s a known issue. This change to Gumball will be reverted in the next WIP.

This is horrible, a nightmare for everyone who works on technical stuff where accuracy is everything. In Rhino 7 I have Ortho at 90 degrees. However, if I disable it (or hold Shift) and have active Grid snap, it lets me rotate in steps every 5 degrees. It’s super convenient. I can’t imagine workin…

[image] Gijs de Zwart: No worries, in tomorrows WIP (assuming we have no issues that stop us from shipping a new WIP) Gumball works again like it did in Rhino 8. I hope you’re removing it becasue it was too early to expose such feature. In my opinion having a single Gumball that accomplish b…

[image] skysurfer: I hope you’re removing it becasue it was too early to expose such feature. No, we removed it because we were not fully satisfied with the results, and more importantly because we received clear feedback why the two need to stay separated.

just because somethings ‘new’, doesn’t mean its good. The same as just because I like it and find it useful, many will not

[image] Gijs de Zwart: No, we removed it because we were not fully satisfied with the results, and more importantly because we received clear feedback why the two need to stay separated. Thank you (and all devs) for hearing our feedback.

well i was a bit afraid that gumball might change for good, since i also like how it is currently. BUT i also love the idea of this experiment and want to add something to relativize the ephemeral forth and backwards actions here. the major issue is that Rhino is a tool that you get used to, like…
