Arkio

its not working with my vrheadset. and I can see that others also have problems with the vr

While i understand it is in early access the program still has some very large issues that in my 3 hours of using it prevented me from making a simple interior layout. I could definitely see this tool be better suited for exterior concept work and more generalized, less detailed environments. That being said these are the issues i ran into while using the program: - The snapping/alignment system is both too powerful and too weak (or nonexistent at times). When you place your first shape it uses that as a snapping point for future shapes which poses issues with placing things at different orientations (like any other non-square shape) the supposed way around this is a disable snap feature which i could not get to work. Additionally for things that should snap to a grid (like their wall placement tool) it simply lets you freehand angles with no gauge or protractor causing misaligned walls and issues with making rooms actually square as the wall will only snap to the edges of other shapes and does so in an extremely awkward way which causes you to not always be able to place walls where youd want. - Shape merging, by far the worst and most frustrating aspect of the system is that when you build two shapes (such as cubes) and two faces of those shapes become flush with each other after snapping you cannot move the faces independently anymore so if you need to realign only one of the two shapes with the adjustment tool it moves all connected faces with no feature to toggle off. - The negative fill feature when using the shape tool on a previously made object doesnt actually cut out of the object and instead creates a new shape that is invisible on its exterior faces. While arguably a good feature, it can lead to some frustrating moments when trying to get exact measurements or use a negative fill inside of another negative fill. - The door and window tools in general feel clunky and snap strangely and will not behave correctly if you try to edit them after initial placement - The program is lacking in any form of diagonal plane tool or angled snapping for the base tool in general which makes it impossible to make certain diagonal shapes without using a series of triangles which again do not have a right angle snapping feature causing gaps and uneven measurements to be present - The entire lack of any curve tools whatsoever. There is no circle, cylinder, sphere, curve, or arch tool present which severely limits design options. Again im fully aware the program is in early access so id love to see the Devs take at least some of these issues and create fixes for them. In time i could definitely see this program being the top of its class between flat and VR applications of its type due to its easy import/export system, collaborative tools, and multi-platform usage options.
