Hi Gary,
What Software Application did you update to v 4.1 Universal?
Its an architect orientated 3D Design software called BoA.
It started in 1996 as an offshoot of an app called Architrion - and
is an advanced sophisticated 3D solids modeler app. Version 2 was
released in about 2001. I took it up in 2003 version 2.4.6 and used
under OS 8.6/ 9.0 It required a Quickdraw 3D extension and printed
to postscript and written with MacApp. Evidently they were
developing some sophisticated 3D technology with Apple until Apple
pulled the pin and move onto OSX. This event seemed to slowed its
development quite a bit.
In late 2005 they released version 3, which could run under OS X via
Rosetta. all files were backwards compatible, in effect the software
didn't change at all- it maintained its basic functionality.
Then in late 2008 they issued a universal version to run natively
under OSX and written with XCode, but has numerous bugs. I was hoping
v 4.1 release would resolve some of the bugs but alas not fully yet.
This saving bug might just be my machine after all.
I ought to add that the developers are French, who seem to run a
different line to the rest of us!
Architosh.com has a few articles on BoA
