r,

Your avatar is sublime, your sig is a little skimpy. Giving your platform would help.

The avatar, though, wow.

Oh certainly. We will look at the pros and cons of modeling trimwork with Profiler, ArchiForma, and frosting. And if you think GDL windows are tricky, try softening up those gumdrops in the microwave so you can flatten them into panes; it's really easy to go to far... the bubbling colors are cool though... as my daughter said, 'Again.' That's our second annual make-a-house, she-takes-my-picture-with-it, I-use-it-as-my-avatar. Ah traditions. Somebody call hallmark.

Now somebody help benbenek.

r,
I believe this is what you are looking for. It is #699 form the GSUS knowledge base on how to clear cache. REad the whole thing first.It covers mac and windows.

1.) Close ArchiCAD and all other running applications.
2.) (notice: the word "clear" in the next few commands, mean that the user may back up these files to the desktop via a Copy)

3.) Clear pref's:

AC8.1 location of preferences:

MAC (2 locations)
Macintosh HD: Users: <USERNAME>: Library : Preferences : Graphisoft : AC 8.1.0 v2 (or AC 9.0.0 USA v1)

Macintosh HD: Users: <USERNAME>: Library : Preferences : Graphisoft : PM 3.1.0 v2 (or PM 9.0.0 USA v1)

WIN (2 locations)
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD 8.1.0 USA R1 (or ArchiCAD 9.0.0 USA R1)
(and)
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Graphisoft\PlotMaker 3.1.0 USA R1 (or PlotMaker 9.0.0 USA R1)

4.) Clear cache's:

MAC (2 locations)
Macintosh HD: Users: <USERNAME>: Library : Caches : Graphisoft : ArchiCAD Cache Folder : AC 8.1.0 v1 (or AC 9.0.0 USA v1)

Macintosh HD: Users: <USERNAME>: Library : Caches : Graphisoft : PlotMaker Cache Folder : PM 3.1.0 v1 (or PM 9.0.0 USA v1)

WIN cache locations (4 locations)
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Graphisoft\ArchiCAD Cache Folder\ArchiCAD 8.1.0 USA R2 (or ArchiCAD 9.0.0 USA R1)
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Graphisoft\PlotMaker Cache Folder\ArchiCAD 8.1.0 USA R2 (or ArchiCAD 9.0.0 USA R1)
- Clear the local Cache:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Temp

5.) Start ArchiCAD/PlotMaker and see how your file now behaves.

[added PlotMaker to step 5. dt]
