AC 20 3D Window size problem

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:16:58 GMT

Hi everyone,

regarding the size of the 3D window, in AC19 I used to be able to change the windows size (pixels) from the 3D window settings.

I used to do that to increase the resolution as the native one wasn't good enough for an A3 page.

Now in Archicad 20 I can't change the resolution (1501x861 in my case). Nothing is happening when I change it and I end up with poor quality "renders" on my A3's.

Do you have the same issue?

Best regards,

Justin

Is that because your 3D window is maximised to the Archicad program extents?
Try pressing the 'restore down' button so it is a free floating window.
Then resize to what you want.

But if you are rendering with Cinerender you can sett the page size and DPI in the render settings.

Thank you Barry you were right about the restore down button. In AC20 it doesn't work if the window in anchored to the tab bar.

It was actually silly but it's another simple thing removed from archicad...And you can't even just drag and drop the window from the tab bar to open it as an independant window like in AC19.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Where is the restore down button? I cannot not find it in the options. Thanks.

In Widows OS it is this one.
No idea for Mac (one of the colours buttons I assume).

Barry,
