I've written (and performed) large-scale instrumentation pre-operational start-up test procedures at nuclear power plants as a start-up engineer. Even though such procedures were reviewed with far more rigor than software user manuals, the same holds true; everyone is a writer with strong opinions, but few will do more than offer comments on how the documents should have be written!

Regardless of who writes user manuals or procedures, there will always be a better way to do it which will never be done! All the Carrara experts should try and write an all-inclusive C5Pro manual some day. I guarantee it will be a real learning experience, and it will be criticized as lacking in major ways. I imagine a truly inclusive C5Pro book would need about 1200 pages to really cover all the bases. I seriously doubt it would ever get published assuming one could even stomach such an unrewarding enterprise.

Im not stating that I believe that (negative) comments made about this book are invalid. Im simply stating that those who have issued strong negative comments on it might want to explore the possibility of placing things in context to the real world. A very tiny fraction of the worlds population cares about Carrara 5 Pro, and publication resources are allocated accordingly.

Notice that even Eovia does not issue a manual with C5Pro anymore as standard practice, and no ones manuals seem to adequately cover the capabilities of the present generations of 3D software. I always found Carrara manuals to be deficient, and my deficient Vue 5 I manual even started falling apart after a few weeks of gentle use.
