DON'T MAKE THE SWITCH! I'm so frustrated with this so called new version, I believe it was just a money ploy, another reason to charge you more money. They need to go back to the way it was.

You can't just simply change a member or cope members. Its a process to go through just to simple change a few things. Where before you could do it in a double click.


I am going to disagree with pretty much everything you have posted. Structure is light years ahead of the old legacy steel product.

Its not neccesary to run a command to cope members, you can if you like, however I prefer making use of the Rule to cope members automatically as they are modelled.

Changing member sizes is also not a process as you make it out to be, there are now a number of different ways to do this. Global edit, Replace or making use of the "+" grip reactor.

The workflows and GUI are different but not radically so.
