Archicad 24 - wall tool

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 14:21:20 GMT

Hi everyone,
Can someone please explain to me why is my wall tool moving jerky (working on a iMAC 2019 3.1GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5- 32GB of RAM - 4GB Radeon Pro 575x). I have this issue even if I start a fresh drawing.
It does this only with the wall tool, everything else works fine.

I've stopped using Archicad for a few years and now the company I work for is looking into changing from Vectorworks to Archicad.

Thank you,

Hi Steve,

Sorry but I don't want to change the height of the walls.
My problem is when I draw the wall (new clean file), the wall tool moves really slow from one point to another I need to wait 2-3 seconds for every point and it does that in 2d only, in 3d if I want to extend a wall it's doing it at normal speed.

Thank you,

Is it just the wall tool?
Does the same happen for beams or slabs?
Have you contacted your local Archicad support people?

Is the "Snap to Snap Grid" option turned ON? In that case, the cursor can seem to be jumping instead of floating as you move your mouse.

I did contact Archicad support and sent my template to them to have a look, they said there is an issue with the wall tool and they are looking into the problem. Also they said if I turn of Trace reference off the problem doesn't occur and it's true.

I am waiting for them to come back with a solution and will post updates here.

The interesting thing is if I start a new Archicad 24 template in a new drawing the wall tool works perfectly.

Seems odd if it is just the wall tool.
I would suspect the snap to grid setting as Laszlo suggested.
That would explain why a new file is fine as I believe it is a project specific setting and not an Archicad setting (like Work Environment settings).

Is there a little black dot jumping around as you move the cursor (just moving the mouse - not while drawing anything)?

Please do let us know if you find the solution.

Barry.

Is not the Snap to Grid - that is deactivated, I am redoing my template from scratch to see if my previous template had an issue or not and in the same time to see if this happens again.

It never happened to me before but there is always a first.
