Archicad 13 Glitchiness . . .

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 10:48:29 GMT

I have installed 13 this morning and opened up my project I have been working on with it- I just thought I would start a thread with the issues I have been noticing thus far.

1. Layer Combinations- When I am switching between views and I switch to a 3D document view my layer combination changes, there are three layers that keep turning on that aren't supposed to be on, and I turn them off and then I update the combination and next time i switch to a view with that Layer combination it is switched back again.

2. When I am changing my complex profiles I find that it bogs my computer down and it freezes a little.

1. Well I guess it is just these 3 layers in particular that wont turn off.
in plan i can turn them off with the quick layers pallet, but not in the 3D window and not in the 3D view window.

3. 13 seems to freeze and/or crash when printing to PDF.

I'm guessing we'll see a few problems that won't be fixed until the hotfix comes out... maybe I'll just wait to use it until then!

BTW, Nice website and projects! I especially like the Asian inspired boathouse..

Steven-Thanks for the compliments. The Asian Inspired Boathouse has had many mixed reviews around here, the boathouse its self is beautiful, but the people around toan and on the lake don't seem to care too much fro it, I guess it doesn't blend in with the surroundings enough.

Yes, I expect glitches, just though i would start a list for people to add to.

3- the PDFs- It seems that publishing to PDF is very quick and efficient.

I also uninstalled and reinstalled, so we'll see if that fixes anything.

Some people are idiots!

Some people are, that is the truth.

OK, I add: slow elevation reconstruction after layer change. It's really a big back-step from AC12.

After some tries, I found that this bug happens only on (my) MacPro 4x2.8Ghz if I enable 3D process window. It don't happen on my MacBook Pro in any case, and it don't happen on my MacPro if I disable 3D process window. Didn't try on other hardware, but on MacPro I must disable 3D process window because it is very annoying to work with the slowness it brings... even normally I like to have it enabled.
Hope it will be fixed soon

What do you mean by the "3d process window"?

Thanks,

I don't know exactly how it's called in english. The little window that (if enabled) appears every time I do a 3D view or a elevation. I attach a screenshot of my Archicad where I enable/disable it. Hope it helps...

Aha! The progress window.

I cannot reproduce the bug on my Mac Pro (8 core). Same elevation generations times when disabling / enabling layers whether the progress window is enabled or not.

If you measure in seconds with and without the progress window, how big of a slow down are you seeing - repeating exactly the same steps on the same elevation?

Thanks,
Karl

On MacPro, the same elevation goes from 2/3 seconds to 10/11 seconds.
With MacBook Pro, there isn't any appreciable difference.

Ouch. Pretty weird. Sounds like something to report through your tech support channel. They will want a PLA of the project, etc.'

Good weekend,
Karl

Just today I experiencing this issue too.

And I found another, even no specifically Archicad 13 related: if I add skirting to complex profiled walls, doors offsets from the wall (tried with AC13 with 12 and 13 door object). I think they shouldn't because skirting is outside wall depth. Look attachment for better explanation...

Try raising the door (skirting) a 1/16th inch (1mm?) off the floor with C.P. walls.
Been doing this since 12 came out.
Works here anyway.
