Good list. I would modify the last one to be to expand on the basic relationships we already have. Walls clean up and behave as polylines. Doors and windows make their own holes. Walls, beams and columns intersect in 3D. Coplanar faces and adjoining fills clean up in elevation and section. Zones can update to changes in the enclosing walls. Skylights penetrate roofs. And of course SEOs create relationships. And so on...

Good point Matthew. I meant 'relationship' in the Revit sense where one piece of geometry can be made to move automatically when something else not necessarily connected is moved.
I suppose the most obvious example that AC desperately needs is the ability to link the top and bottom of a wall relative to any storey level, which would reduce much of the manual readjustment needed when the storey levels change. It would also be useful to do things like linking the roof to the top of walls, and slabs to the side of walls, as would being able to fix the position of an object to a distance from a particular corner of a room for example.

thanks !I missed that one*  ! ...while it is annouced i think that such Anoucements should be linked in the GS homepage...and/or a sticky' post on the forum.
None of the dropped features_products were IMHO "sufficiently" announced:
Maxonform, sketchup addons...
* is VBE intented to replace this option ?!

It may replace it, but at an additional cost.
Current US pricing: 
$645.00 w/o the open-GL Shaded rendering engine
$1,295.00 with open-GL Shaded rendering engine
(50% off if you have a subscription)
I'd like to know..... without quicktimeVR... will we be able to create "Sun Studies"??

ok . it's not what we can call 'a fair replacement'; I hope GS has a new "inbox" alternative...

Quicktime VR is a loss but
Lightworks in ArchiCAD is irrelevant in it's current implementation, and forces the user to look at renderers such as Artlantis, which of course offer this functionality.
However it is yet another item on our ever growing list, reflecting Graphisoft's failure to keep the various 'modules' of the software competitive with other solutions in the marketplace. That list is a depressing read...

Compared to VR scenes / VR objects...
VBE is a much nicer tool, IMHO, to share projects with clients.
If you haven't tried it... the trial version and sample file downloads are HERE
That said.... I still want my sun studies.

How do you use QTVR with sun studies? I have only used straight animation for this (though typically with a stationary camera).
