    Missing Tools

    So far  I have noticed a couple of major items that have not been included in Spark:

    Please correct me if I am wrong on this but Transfer Project Standards is missing as is the ability to create in-place models.

    The lack of modelling tools could prove awkward in a 3d modelling program.

    In place modeling and transfer project standards are both not part of the tool set in Spark.  Thank you for providing feedback on this.  Would you care to elaborate on how you feel the removal of these tools will affect your workflows?

    I've been paying attention to my workflow and observing how the lack of in place modelling tools would be a problem.  Today I needed to cut a decorative end on a barge board. I used an in place void.

    I am working on a renovation of a older building that has tapered stone walls. I used an in place sweep. Work arounds are certainly possible but they are very awkward. 

     The problem is that a user must have a more advanced skill level with the family editor to use a product that is being marketed as a more simple to operate version of Revit. I can live without a lot of the items that have been left out, but in place modelling is an important  tool.
