Today I used Rhino WIP V8 first time in Classroom…
some stuff is really nice - but still some work to do.
great to have a more unique UI with Windows and Mac Os X
Stuff that needs to be fixed
Version 8 WIP (8.0.23234.12306, 2023-08-22)
Expires October 6, 2023 on a Intel Macbook 2019
Mac os X 13.5.1, AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
- (Rhino) Notes are not show in Finder - is there some Mac os x setting I am missing ?
- working with synchronised Monitor via Airplay, Performace of Graphic is miserable. Grid is flickering, Surfaces are not shaded, looks like a mixture of Wireframe and shaded (sorry) I know you spent a lot of work in Metal / M1 / … compatibility with “old” intel hardware should be checked as well
- Tooltips (like in the Arc-Menu, (Start,Direction At Start, End) (Tangent 3 Curves) … not showing many Times. Sometimes restarting Rhino helped
- Command-History-Panel not scrolling down to latest entry (reported somewhere else as well), this is super annoying if students want to follow what command is used, see Selection results etc… I try to train them to check feedback frequently (“created 2 caps… resulting still open… could not close… could not join”) This is also annoying when I record tutorials / videos.
- temporary Command Fade-In - fades super slow (3 or 5 seconds to show) and as soon as it is there, it s overlaying the viewport - tabs. quite annoying.
- Sometimes it feels quite hard ( or random) to get the ↔ mouse tip to adapt widths and heigths of the UI. For Retina / High-Resultion this should be more then one pixel ! at least it felt on one student’s high-Resultion-External monitor, like there is only one pixel that need to be grabed.
- Object-Snaps (“Mid”, "End*) interactive Flyouts where not showing on one students machine
- somewhere there was a “split At” … missing the word “tangents” - is it possible that the Main-Toolbar, that is replaced by command-option during executing a command does not 100% implement the change of the width ?
- there might be more issues tomorrow - thanks for all improvements
- Gumball should visually feedback copy-option for nummeric input: If I option-click one arrow to copy whatever by 30 units, it would be great, if Gumball shows some (+) icon somewhare / somehow
kind regards - tom
