Seems to be a British company, so they probably assumed that everybody would pronounce it with a British accent and a silent “r”...

Some years ago I was looking for something along these lines, but nothing really ticked the box in the end:

I toyed with the idea of adding a 3D view into Hyper Plan. But I decided that it would be flashy, rather than useful, so I abandoned the idea. It’s a pity, because it would have been fun to program!

3D would be cool for Hyper Plan, as an extra mode to current 2D mode, not replacing it.

I’ll pass on thort, don’t go for subscriptions nor sending data to someone I don’t know. At least with Amazon, Google, Dropbox, Apple or big names there is some level of peace of mind. Don’t like the look either, neither videos/website nor the clunky product itself.

I sometimes use the InfoRapid paid version on Android, has a free version there too, and an old version on windows, no serious use yet, just some basic models I did in 2016:

InfoRapid looks interesting. But I would say it is really 2D (albeit with an isometric projection).

Agree. 3D doesn’t seem worth diving into unless you have some clear cut use cases in mind where there is a significant valued added over 2D. Otherwise it is just a gimmick that gets in the way.
