AC21 sun study not working?

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 12:08:38 GMT

Hi everyone!
I'm trying the "create sun-study" feature in AC21, and it doesn't work.
I push the "show" button and in my 3d window, although the "loading model" pop-up screen appears, the shadows are not moving...
It worked for me in previous AC versions....
I tried every setting in the sun-study window with the same results...
I even tried to save in different formats but shadows stand still
Have anyone tried it yet? does it work for you?

Hi mpoulis,

Our developers discovered this problem recently and they are working on a fix to be issued in an update. As with any Update I do not have a precise ETA but the fix will be in the first Update for ARCHICAD 21. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

This kind of thing is why I never take the older version of ArchiCAD off of my computer. There will always be plenty of known bugs that don't get fixed before the new version is released.

I blame the diabolical Subscription Licensing system.
There is no longer any incentive to make sure the product is ready for market before it is released.

Seems to be working fine for me with build 5010.
