or a Mac?

Excellent! Are they structural columns holding up a trellis? Any shots of the FormZ model?

I am looking into outsourcing the building of my FormZ models. These would be single family residential architectural models. I would have a FormZ template for you to work from and would need it built according to my layer and material standards. I would provide PDF or DWG (or Vectorworks if you have it) plans & sections to start building with. I would not need rendering services for these projects, only modeling. I will also be looking for someone to create a library of commonly used elements and materials. Current v9 version of FormZ required. English language fluency preferred for ease of communication. Prefer someone with previous experience in architecture. Position would start in 1-2 months time. Below are some samples: Existing house: Proposed renovation: PM me if interested.

To add to the Reference file features: I would love to see DWG (and possibly other popular file types) referenced. This would vastly help communication with other software. For example I draw a technical cross section of a house (or any object really) in AutoCAD. I want to see that info in FormZ so I can update my 3D model per the technical section. Currently I have import the DWG, then reimport every time I update the cross section. If I could have that file referenced into my FormZ file, when the AutoCAD file is updated - the referenced information shows up automatically in FormZ. I can't edit the cross section in FormZ of course, but I could see it and snap to it.

An SSD should open everything much faster. If you are staying in the Mac ecosystem and looking for a very fast machine with SSD I would recommend an iMac with the i9 8 core chip. Mine runs FormZ very well and is going to be much faster than a 2010 Mac Pro at both single and multi core tasks, at a pretty decent price point. v9 opens in about 4 sec. on my iMac.

No crashes to report here in 9.0.4.2

working for me on Mac 10.14.5 Unless you pan the screen or drop a guideline, then the input field is no longer highlighted. An error I've been trying to get corrected since v7 beta!

Glad to hear they are looking into it already. Thanks Justin.

Yes I also realized after posting that I can hold Option key and mouse click to scroll. Works well. I might write Support to see if scroll wheel scrolling can be sped up. I gave up on Apple mice years ago. I use a Kensington. A few times over the years when I used to freelance I would bring my laptop and mouse into the office for a few weeks at a time. I would leave my mouse at the office and it always was gone the next day as someone wanted to replace their Apple "magic" mouse with something that actually does just work.

Got it. +1

I searched around and realize that holding Option key on Mac scrolls the full palette. That is SO much better. However, scroll speed for the overall palette is still very slow compared to scrolling within a palette or a web browser.

Now that the kinks have been worked out, more or less, I'm really liking the new UI. There are still a few areas of improvement. One is scrolling the palette dock. It is very tedious to scroll the new palette dock on the right side of the screen. I would love to see a scroll bar return to allow for super fast mouse based scrolling. I realize it takes some screen real estate, but it would greatly improve workflow IMHO.

How is this different than the Reshape tool?

Old habits die hard. Glad to hear it more or less seems to be working. For me I have decided to do minimal workspace alterations to the default v9 workspace and adjust my habits to the new UI. That way if I need to rebuild my workspace it takes only a couple minutes to be up and running again. So far so good.
