I've had bad results with the few I've download and decided not to use any of them. The fact that they modeled them to the extent of showing the inner diameter was my first "oh no...." moment. They look impressive at first glance until you actually try to use them.RevitGaragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715040872654967467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-42752086785161526592012-04-14T13:08:48.491-07:002012-04-14T13:08:48.491-07:00I expect that it would be explained, if anyone bot...I expect that it would be explained, if anyone bothers, that it is an older family that predates the additional checklist for quality. Regardless, obviously whoever created it didnt actually check to make sure it flexed.

A few are easier to keep after, 1,000's are another matter, 10,000...! I'd be surprised if the number of dedicated people for seek is in the double digits. Most likely the checklist is "self-perform", as in "yes...did that, did that..."Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-8145997200140032292012-04-14T12:49:52.651-07:002012-04-14T12:49:52.651-07:00Wow, that's disappointing...

In the Seek website, if I recall correctly, it says that a family has to pass a list of 'checkpoints' or checklist (more than 100 items) to be accepted as part of the Seek Library. It seems to me that this family was not tested at all.Alfredo Medinanoreply@blogger.com
