I'm going to try to get it to generate extrusions in Revit based on images of floor plans. I've tried doing this in bunch of models without success so far.
You might want to give it some guidance based on edge centers? It'll have a hard time thinking of wall thickness and have it draw points if you're trying to copy floor plans.
for clarity now that I'm rereading: it understands vectors a lot better than areas. Encoding it like that seems to work better for me.
Note that the tilt only has one level (flat and tilted), the animation might make you think otherwise. I use it in tilted mode.
It is highly customizable using the Logitech options software which I am using on both macOS and Windows. For example you can assign actions to all the buttons that are dependent on the running program, and even involve custom key combinations.
The only downside of the trackball is that you have to clean it once in a while, when the pointer appears to be moving very slowly - simply eject the ball by poking a screwdriver into the hole at the bottom of the mouse, clean out the accumulated dust and push the ball back.
If you like le Carre, British TV Series "The Sandbaggers" is in a similar vein. I've watched a bunch of episodes on youtube and they are great with a focus on dialog and schemes as opposed to action.
Some of my best ideas that ended up being company changing started as a conversation walking to lunch with colleagues.
Initially these ideas were just undeveloped thoughts and I would never dream about booking a meeting to present them. Having a chance to develop them in a casual conversation might have been the difference between successfully building the thing and not doing it at all.
I love working from home but miss the unstructured collaboration.

Your company doesn't have informal communications channels for this sort of thing? Team/Slack/whatever? In every place I've worked for the last 15-20 years (it was different before that), such informal "watercooler" talks have never happened in person, whether everyone was in the office or not. It was always over electronic communications.
The reason for this is that it's less disruptive to other productive work.
Best holiday of my life was riding the Pyrenees with my wife. Your comment about eating a meal after riding really rang true for me. Meals after a big ride are something special and when the French are doing the cooking... That's something to remember forever!
