Help Observation and Suggestions

[Grant]

16072008.1 Put a help button and link to help videos on the assistants and other ‘tools’.
 
16072008.2 The Theater page prevents you from using Rhino until it is closed - not handy. If you close it with a video open, you can again use Rhino and see the video, so that is OK.

16072008.3 The demo video says to set the units to meter, but it does not say to increase the unit tolerances. My experiments with RhinoMarine, and designing to the acccuracy needed to export to AutoCAD, etc. show that fine tolerances are required.  I might be wrong, so maybe some explanation and help on these important parameters would be useful in your help and training.  For example, what is really important - mesh or units - finer units in RhinoMarine gave me better 2d output... but the ORCA document properties show fine mesh settings...

Thanks for your suggestions, Grant. In response,

16072008.1 Excellent suggestion. We are working to update and extend the videos and use context sensitive help throughout the interface.

16072008.2 This has been fixed and will be in the next release.

16072008.3 As mentioned above, all of our video tutorials will be getting updated. A more in-depth discussion of Orca3D mesh settings will be added to the help.
