| Hello,
I just downloaded Stud.io 1.0.0.x, having tried the beta some time ago. Here
are some remarks:
(1) the very first brick I wanted to use in a model built earlier, using LDD,
was not available, although I have bought real copies on the BrickLink: 24309
slope, curved, 3x2, no studs. It's not in LDD, but that is precisely one
of the reasons for using Stud.io: parts that LDD no longer supports.
(2) it takes a very long time for a part description to pop up when one hovers
over its image in the part browser. This tooltip-delay should be settable in
the preferences. I want it to be 0.
(3) interface transition animations should be user-settable to OFF. An example
is the inertia scrolling in the parts browser. They waste my time, lose my attention
and heat up the computer. All animations make me nervous.
(4) 3D rotation of the camera by right-click-and-drag is the other way from what
it is in other 3D programs I use. This direction should be settable in the preferences.
(5) in the macOS version there are several behaviours not according to the usual
Mac interface: option-drag should duplicate, close buttons on windows and palettes
should be at the left not the right, etc.
(6) It is unclear what the camera rotates around. I prefer it to rotate around
the selected items or at the very least to have a choice. This is important
when inspecting a complex technical build close-up. Maybe I missed a setting.
(7) I usually want separate windows for separate models, I positively dislike
applications that put documents in tabs on a single window. Fortunately, for
Stud.io this is not such a nuisance.
One good thing: it no longer hogs my CPU.
Thanks for making it available for free, and keep improving it,
Robert C.

The dedicated forum for Stud.io is there: http://forum.bricklink.com (you must
be logged in or you will be redirected here).
(As for 24309, like many new parts, it’s available in LDD, but only in the “extended
mode”: menu View / New themes / LDD Extended.)

These suggestions are in the wrong forum. They might go unnoticed. If you look
within the stud.io Section there is a Whole different forum related to just the
program and they have a suggestions area there
