mkiba Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi, as an Architect, I am using components a lot. Since the new versions (from v7) working with components wasn´t always a pleasure. There have been quite some issues all the way up to now. I am pleased, that some of them are adressed with the new update. One of the bigger issues for me is the really bad performance of components, when they are edited in the scene. This is especially the case, when the number of references or the complexity of the component being edited is high. Sometimes it seems it takes ages (even hours) When I am working in other applications, like Rhino2d or Sketchup, their components (blocks) are updated instantaneous. Here are two videos showing editing the same 400 components in formZ and Rhino3d. component_editing_formZ.mp4 block editing_rhino.mp4 This gives me the impression, that components in formZ should have a much better performance (actually it is one reason to use them) What do you think? regards Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hi Michael, Yes, that should definitely be faster than that! We are actually working on more Component improvements right now, including performance. Stay tuned for more improvements coming soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etroxel Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I agree, and do NOT use components under any circumstances still. They are flaky and often crash the program. I just gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi Evan, We have recently made a lot of improvements with Components. If you still have any specific issues, if you can email a file and steps to support@formz.com we will get that investigated ASAP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
