PLEASE at least release an update that fixs the PREVIEW window so that when changing the simulens setting we can see the preview!! w/o having to update..
Just release more smaller updates instead of having us wait ages to get a new update of maxwell.. its definatly not fun using maxwell anymore when weve been living w a bug like the preview window not showing the simulens preview for how many months now?! this version 1.x of maxwell but its still having problems you would find in a beta development..
PLEASE more updates to handle small fixes!

Maybe this preview thing is important to you, but I think most of the users think this is a minor problem....
I guess there are many things to improve for Maxwell, just like any other application (even 3-4 times Maxwell's price, like Revit for example) but you have to understand that there are still some priorities that need full day's work... like improvements of Maxwell's core application (MXCL).

one thing which really has to be fixed ASAP is the leopard bug which causes a lot of crashs ...

edit:
sorry, forgot to mention that I was talking about studio. MXCL works fine more or less

And, while we're at it, the obnoxious Rotated Instances Thing. Kinda takes the fun out of using the Studio.

I'm on a Mac, so unchecking instances support in the SU plugin export menu doesn't help.

There is NO fun using Studio.... :( at least not yet.... Maybe this will be the best way soon, but today, I always prefer to make most of the work with my 3d app...

Ah, but the Studio is one of the main reasons I got Maxwell. It provides a good way around SketchUp's poly limit. Well, in theory anyway. ;)

I'm generally pleased with Maxwell, but instances getting rotated - that's plain annoying. NL ought to sort this out.

yes i know your right.. i just wish once theyd fix something thed release a hot fix for it.. fix 1 thing at a time then release it.. not fix alot of stuff and release it..bt maybe it dont work like that w/ maxwell.. maybe its all the same.. its just wen they do release a new release almost without fail thereis something else broken instead..which would make sence to release smaller updates to catch the broken things quicker?

but u make a point. .

i just used to like to use maxwell and looked fwd to new versions.. now its lost itscharm since i gotto use features that should wqork in a 1.x release and theyr still buggy..

I will agree, I hate it when I see something fixed and something else broken in a new release... But you have to admit that Maxwell is no beta, it is a fully working application....with bugs :)
