Where is "cut plan profile"

[thomas.163390]

They should put the cut plan profile back to where it belongs. On the options bar! A cut-plan profile is'nt an opening.

"Cheese wasn't moved it was "eaten"...I suspect the code for cut plane profile and Vertical Opening is essentially the same, just not limited to a roof element. I agree it is a little confusing!

Ok.. .Some of the name changes are less than ideal. Here's one that I do like: "Synchronize with Central" vs. "Save to Central."

So there's at least one good point in 2010.

I think the confusion could be dispelled if Autodesk had spent perhaps 20 minutes or so writing a short entry to the help file to explain the change. Obviously it is not their time being wasted so if they can save twenty minutes and waste many hours of their users time that's what they have decided to do. Not a very friendly business model.

Oh like one of those old text based adventure games...You are in a dark cold room deep underground.. it is late at night... You suddenly need to cut a shape in an extruded roof.....

mate,
that made me laugh big time, and today, I need a laugh, to forget about how many times Revit 2010 has crashed out and closed on me in the last 3 days of testing between working on real work !
thanks for a great line !

....you smell a wumpus... and that wumpus smells like Revit 2010

It wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't received the triple whammy:

1. Tools were moved (ribbon)
2. Tools were renamed
3. Tool icons were changed
