3D view in AC 13

Anonymous — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:43:20 GMT

Ive just installed AC13 and for some reason when i go to the 3D screen and try to pan around, the refresh rate is very slow. Has anyone else experienced this.
Is there some way i can change this

Cheers

Its when i press F5. Is that the open GL method. In Archicad 12 it worked fine.
I had a $800 video card installed about a year ago. I hope this isnt the problem

As we are using 13 more widely we are getting all sorts of display errors. The most common one recently has been 2d display - for e.g. losing dimension figures - to the point where we have to turn 2d hardware acceleration off. And that is with recent hardware...
