This is an interesting function. I looked at the online documentation for the Zones tool, I didn’t see a setting regarding whether the area of the wall is included, right now it looks like it is the floor area to the face of the wall. Have you guys considered maybe adding an option where wall thickn...

I hope that the HighDesign three-dimensional modeling capabilities will allow for creation of “unintelligent” geometry, like to create a cube then modify it to create a model of a building, but without using wall tools and such. i've looked at Rhino, Blender and even FormZ Regarding formZ, not sure ...

The website has never looked better in my opinion.

MinCAD was the first CAD application I used when I started working for myself, I really liked it, used it for about two years before it became Vectorworks. An architect friend had emailed me something about HighDesign, after a few email to Ilexsoft and a conversation with a HighDesign user active on...

I switched from Vectorworks back in 2008 AD, I did not think the transition to HighDesign was difficult at all, I’ve been using HighDesign exclusively ever since and have never regretted it. I’ve never used PowerCADD to offer any advice on how to switch from that application to HighDesign. Regarding...

Thank you, the confirmation regarding High Sierra and the tip to set up a virtual machine are helpful. And again, sorry to hear about R5 not being usable. I hope to continue working in a 32-bit environment for a long time, my 2013 AD MacBook Pro seems to be working just fine, I bought that 2012 AD i...

I'm using R5 current release 2020-1-1715 on Big Sur and I find it quite usable. I admit that there was a period of time when the R5 would spin off into never-never land. That has been fixed in my opinion. If you wanted to try R5 I would. Although I guess R6 is promised by Jan 2021:) so maybe wait f...

Macitect, Wow, things must have been really bad if you resorted to Revit! Shame it wasn’t possible to somehow export a DWG and import it back into HD 1.8.7. You are 100% correct when you say the focus should be on refining and tweaking instead of introducing new features. Whatever is offered must be...

Thank you for confirming that HD 1.8.7 is running on macOS 10.12.6. I am super wary of updating anything, I got burned when I updated Mavericks (preinstalled on my MacBook Pro) to Yosemite when I was beta testing HighDesign 2014/2015 - I somehow missed the fine print saying that version of Yosemite ...

Hello, The day before I posted this, I emailed Ilexsoft asking a similar question regarding running 1.8.7 on MacOS 10.12 through 10.15, they responded today with the following: “HighDesign 1.8.7 does not run on macOS 10.15 Catalina or more recent versions of the system. If you wish to buy a used iMa...

Hello, Has anyone used HighDesign 1.8.7 with MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra)? I have the opportunity to purchase a used iMac with 10.13, would like to confirm this before making the purchase. HD 1.8.7 runs just fine on my MacBook Pro running 10.10.1 (Yosemite,) I am assuming that HD 1.8.7 will run on 10.1...
