I don't want to criticize, just push for a better product, already great anyway. Python, new things under the hood. New user interface. Color room for me is good...I mean, secondary priority. Highest priority: modeling, modeling, modeling...and better workflow among the things down there . I vote for smoother workflow between tools (and interface). Now there is too much redundancy of brushes and functions: many brushes are just small variations of major brushes... they don't really offer consistent differences. I would like more order and logic and unambiguousness in the controls and options. More stability and less unpredictable behavior in shortcuts as well. More compactness at the workflow level in the scultpting/modeling rooms: too many options, too many overlapping and confusing concepts....subdivisions, layers, voxels, meshes, brushes for voxels but also for meshes.., something more streamlined and clean at the conceptual level is needed...see plasticiti. The beauty of being able to go into 3DCoat and find, more or less, the same polymodeling tools as in Blender. Instead you need to adapt to alien, discombobulated, tools  ...that I can't use despite periodically trying again and again....because I sense that this is only an intermediate stage toward more advanced, hybrid tools, voxel/nurbs, which no other program has now, and my goal in 3D is to have creative freedom EVEN in modeling curved surfaces without too many topological entanglements. If 3DCoat doesn't do this soon they will take care of it in a year or two by software with SDF...or zbrush....when they eventually realize that it is the only thing still missing in modeling. The main brushes: clay, pinch, move, etc. are great and there is not much need to improve them. The 4 or 5 brushes that matter and that are indispensable works well. Except, as I said before, to diversify them in a more precise and recognizable way....Michelangelo sculpted so well because he had only a few tools ...hammer, coarse chisel, fine chisel, and little else.

Good, glad it wasn't at my end.  Thanks

i love modeling inside 3dcoat, not using poly tools but the sculpting ones, its so fast and im not limited to my topology, but i was finding making shapes for cutting a bit slow,   could we have some sort of curve-to flat mesh and then thicken it ...  so we can draw out of copy a shape and then get volume into that shape , we can then cut using it

i was curious because as im not a programmer , im not really caring for python, is there a way we vote or its discussed ?   dont think that im truly hating on the new update as im not, i know alot of people out there will be able to create amazing things.. but i was hoping for some love with the paint room and a new ui...

yes its bugged...

i dont understand what the issue is, could you be more specific please

I've tried this in version 2023 20 and now 2023 16. I've tried layers both in voxel mode and surface mode. The interface has been tried in UI color schemes both grey scheme and regular scheme with orange selections.  I've tried adding the reference colors selected both to individual object and to objects with subtree and nothing doing. I've followed closely Tenetsky's intro to the 3dCoat interface vol 6 and it's not happening for me.  Anybody got any ideas what the problem is here?
