History Management

No loss of history with specific commands, no need to turn history on and off—it’s always ON. Erasing a command doesn’t lose the erasure or any information before or after. Copy and paste sections of history between parts or files. Link commands via parameters, reorder commands, and scale surfaces or parts with morphing/cage editing without losing parameters. Easy to go back and edit again.
History breaks; less mature; Grasshopper-based, leading to longer process times

Speed
Hybrid Modeling with less commands for curves, surfaces, and solids boosts speed. Direct editing also increases speed with history
Slower performance, especially with complex designs
Not as fast with very complex designs
Perfoms with cloud licensing

User Interface
