![]() But for organizing hundreds or thousands of 3D objects, it’s very inadequate. The “layer” organization is outdated going back to the early days of 2D design programs and makes sense for old vellum overlay drawings (yes, I’m that old). The settings are scattered all over the place and impossible to find. The inconsistencies are very frustrating. But the interface really lets the product down, even though it is (apparently) miles better than the PC version (from what PC users themselves have written). I’m seriously addicted to MacRhino and the MATH is truly amazing. But that brings me to my following suggestion. All that’s needed is a graphic of the Gumball and an explanation that the “white circle on the stick” will bring up the Gumball Settings Options. There is no “Tools-Options” in the Menu bar at the top of the interface. From a Mac perspective, the “Menu-Tools-Options” shown doesn’t work either. (My toolbars are off to clean up the 4-view modeling windows, and the documentation refers to a gear widget (see attachment) which I can’t find anywhere and clicking on the Properties, Standard or Tools doesn’t help. And that’s something McNeel really needs to know. Very curious…) Now don’t everyone flame me for this, but even looking at the excellent online documentation (love the animated examples), it took me an HOUR to find this Gumball input even after WingNut told me it existed. YESSSSSS!!! Thank you WingNut! I knew I hadn’t lost my mind - that’s the input I found previously and was referring to! (Why doesn’t McNeel just say that explicitly? It’s the precise answer to the question “How do I rotate the view around the selected object?” Even in Google searches where people have the exact same question, no one has ever supplied that simple answer.
