how big is your archiCAD file? and do you think the file size is about right for the project size?

Did you try (see ArchiBen's tip) unloading the cache data? Also an article on making your files smaller at ArchiGuide, by Laszlo Nagy.

"not enough room in heap zone" is usually something to do with the file size, or data size that the processor is handling, getting too big and unmanageable AFAIK. it could be that your hard disk is getting full up and archiCAD is having trouble writing out the caches and scratches that it needs to process the data? you also ought to be all right with 1.3GB ram . . .

we had the same thing last week with a more sinister cause: if you can't sort it with the above info, call your dealer/tech-support and get graphisoft to clean up the file.

thanks lads

it has reduced the file by 50mb which should make things a lot better plus clear up the heap zone probs.
