Guideline grip takes forever to show up in AC24

I'm hoping it's not just me who has had this issue and that someone has found a fix.

When I upgraded to AC24 from AC23 I noticed that it seemed to take a really long time for the orange grip to show up when I hovered my mouse over the guideline to move it. Sometimes it won't even show up if the guideline is on top of a reference line for a wall or something. When I open an old file in AC23 I don't have this problem.

I've been working around it for a few months but it is quite annoying and I'm hoping there is just a setting in work environment or something that I need to change. I just haven't found the solution yet.

Anyone else have this issue?

No. Works instantly. I didn't notice any difference. Are you using Windows or Mac? Maybe it's a problem with graphic card? Try to update video driver to the latest and ensure, that you have the latest ArchiCAD update.

Time will tell but that seems to have worked I thought I had my drivers set to auto update but I guess not.
Thanks for the tip.

To improve response performance, you may also disable the ‘Auto-rebuild model viewpoints continuously’ feature (in WE settings) while keeping the latent Background Updating feature active. I found this provides better responses on a large model.

Does reducing the value of "Options>Work Environment>Input Constraints and Guide>Highlight as snap reference after x.xx sec." help?

Marc and Richard - Brad posted that updating video/graphics drivers as suggested by Podolsky resolved his issue. 🙂

Karl, thank you for pointing this out. I just posted another possibility in the event that the OP later discovered that the problem was not actually solved.

Thanks but the problem still appears to be gone.

Hello,

Thank you very much for reporting the issue!

May I ask whether the slowness appears even with a brand new file or with only some projects? We haven't received any similar cases from the first-tier support in the past, so I guess this must be a computer-specific problem.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Minh
