I just installed SP3 and it went smoothly--Mac.

It would be helpful.

This is something I hope is fixed soon, as it does affect workflow.

What issues are you finding with structural members? I find it perfectly acceptable.

I like service select as it provides utils, and is not a large annual business expense so I am able to be seamless with the architect I work with and for my own stuff. I keep a 2017 version, which is adequate for most residential stuff and even older on a mothballed iMac. I am just an old builder remodeler with aspirations of revenue generation until my time is up. LOL

That functionality in your video is fundamental and when walls are correctly connected works even when several are picked and moved using C-M command. They remain cohesive. A great feature.

Ya…I am aware of that stuff. Try joining walls in 3D in 2025 and tell me what happens. VW does not recognize the walls…essentially. I am not being critical as a mission…I like VW and have been with it since 99. I have no desire to change at this point. It’s a wonderful software and powerful in so many ways. Some of which, I am just recently digging into.

Nope…never.

This is not practical, In my world. Changes are made to a model regularly. Also, I re-use walls from project to project….unless I misunderstand you.

I am running a MacStudio M1 Max with 32GB. So I doubt these things are memory related. Also experiencing irregular snapping. Most aggravating is often not able to join walls unless in Top Plan view. Same goes for inserting symbols into walls.

Thanks for the feature list. I just watched the coffee break on room finishes. Its integral to spaces and I have only used spaces for one project, but this seems worth looking further.

For the most part 2025 has been fine for residential modeling. There are some new features that seem unhelpful and others that take time to learn for a small return. Having said that I have experienced a bunch of freezes and outright crashes.

Thanks, Jesse. I will spend time tomorrow digesting this and digging in. So much to learn, but I like it. All of you have been helpful.

I changed the glass back to what it was in these 3 windows. I am using the standard VW rendering in 2025. Untitled 1.vwx

Good suggestion. I will do that. BTW--I am running a punchy Mac Studio and that final Redshift takes about 4 minutes. There is a lot happening in this file for a residence. I restarted the Mac with no change. I created a VP to a sheet with no change. I used a test file with just the doors and an object behind with no change Then I switched the glass texture to the one VE attached and its clear as a bell. What the heck?
