Perhaps put this down to chasing "ghosts" in VW 2019 or the first significant snow fall of the season.
In the olden days I used to skip an iteration of VW as it seemed that VW would introduce tools & work flows that were not ready for prime time & have them mostly fixed by the following release. I kinda want to go back to that model as there seem to be far too many stray threads left dangling with the software. Stuff small & large (stair tool?) does not seem to get addressed as the software is locked into the NEW & IMPROVED marketing BS that effects many pieces of software. It's as if software is the latest T-Bird; now with square tail lights instead of the old circular ones. All the while drivers have to plot trips based on how far they are from a dealership!
Leme back-up, I'm willing to continue to pay for service select. No Question. But I would rather that SS was just to support the process to ensure that SP's allowed for fixes to broken stuff, & allowed for OS issues & updates. That SS confided users of VW to minor tweaks and to allowed for one to import the most up to date versions of files from other consultants.
In this alternate reality, all the cool "new" tools would be left in the sandbox in the Old Line State and only unleashed every third year. This way we can get work accomplished & not spend weeks of un-billable hours fighting ghosts and the BB wouldn't be full of gripes like mine. Do this & I bet you can sell many more seats to both those kids who walk on my lawn, geezers like me, as well as frustated Revit users.
Don't get me wrong, I've use other software & VW continues to out perform & I think folks who both watch this BB & work on the software do an amazing job. But with a longer window for a "New & Improved" release I think VW could be an even better experience.
