Mac upgrade seems to be affecting regen time & reliabili

Anonymous — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 19:00:24 GMT

We are working with AC10 on the Mac intel platform (OS X). Since the last Mac upgrade, we have been experiencing insufferably slow regen times, and windows that disappear only to reappear randomly later. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Anyone have a solution?

Have you made a fresh install of Archicad for MacIntel, or did you copy your old Archicad from PPC Mac?

It was a fresh install.

I am not sure which is the offending update, but I suspect it is one of the following:
Mac OS X update Combined (Intel) 10.4.8
MacBook pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2

We believe the problem is isolated to the Mac updates. We have one Windows based PC, and the files work just fine on that platform – it is only on the Mac where the problems occur.

There isn’t any set command that seems to trigger the problem. Most often it occurs when we move from a modelspace setting to one of the layout pages (particularly the sections and elevation sheets). The windows and floor slabs will randomly disappear from the view – and will not plot either. They are still there as they show up fine in plan. By changing which layer settings the drawings use, and then changing back to the ‘correct’ ones, we could sometimes get the wayward items to reappear long enough to plot – but sometimes they stayed missing. Likewise, sometimes closing the program down and opening it back up would sometimes give us a temporary cure – but not always, and never permanently.

Just thought I would update everyone in case anyone else has this problem...
It has nothing to do with the upgrades - the timing was just coincidental. Eventually, we sent the project to the R&D team at Graphisoft. Our regen time was largely reduced once we simply moved our building closer to the point of origin (newby error!)

The vanishing floor slabs/roofs/widnows was determined to be a bug - and they are currently working on the patch.
