Does BrickDraw3D Carbon support adding bricks?
One observation about BrickDraw3D Carbon vs Classic is that the Classic
application is able to rotate a brick more smoothly. It is stange that
the application running in the classic environment would be faster than
the applicaiton running natively in OS X. Is this an Apple thing or a
developer thing? Unfortunately, both programs rotate complex models
(like my caboose) too slowly. I know I don't have a fast machine PG G3
400, but it still seems extra slow.
BrickDraw3D has improved substantially since the last time I looked at
it, but I find it hard to get used to the idea of not rotating the model
with the mouse though.
