#Formz 8.5 pro full

I love the improvements in the Shaded Full render settings (live AO, multi sampling, shadow darkness control, soft shadows), but the jaggedness and wavyness of the edge is quite frankly so bad that I can't use it for professional production. It might not matter to some uses, but to me it is critical. I commented at length on the shadow performance in a previous post.

Renderzone is far to involved to be used for these images. I use Shaded Full for architectural elevations and 3D views that are used for client presentations in the schematic phase, preliminary submittals to clients, HOA boards, and city officials, plus elevations and 3D views are used directly on my construction documents. That is 100% holding me back from upgrading and I'm not sure if there is any improvement on the way in 8.5. I also must say that I still find the Shaded Full shadow performance so poor in v8 that I haven't upgraded yet. When I see all the effort to add fancy new features, but am stuck with the same basic problems it adds up to a lot of time wasted during my day. This is a case where less was definitely not more. I thought v7 and v8 were devised for speed and efficiency. Does this sound like an efficient process? No? That because it isn't. Now I have to go back to Interval snap and reset to 2 to get midpoint snap. Grab an object by midpoint, go into Interval Snap, reset the snap interval to 3 or 5 or whatever interval required, snap object in place. Try for once using the software to align several copies of an object evenly along a line from their midpoint. There is absolutely no advantage, except saving one icon on screen - which isn't worth much in my opinion.

Why can't we have both interval and midpoint? I have never used a piece of software that combines Midpoint and Interval into one function.

I have reported the problem with interval snap before and Tech acknowledged the problem already.
