New hotfix for ArchiCAD 10

Greg Kmethy — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:49:16 GMT

A new Hotfix is available for ArchiCAD 10 (build 1176). This Hotfix applies to all platforms, and both commercial and education licenses. Currently, it is available for INT (international English) and USA versions, but other localized versions will follow soon.

You can download the Hotfix with the 'Check for updates...' command in Help menu. Please read the Release Notes carefully.

I have installed the "hotfix" per the instructions and now ArchiCAD appears corrupted on the initial start-up dialog. All the recent projects appear as just an icon. No trace of a file name or path. The button at lower right to allow you to Browse(?) or Continue (?) is either blank or has odd symbols in it.
It did not properly load one of the 3DS.apx or Quicktime 2.0 VR engine file.
It appeared to load a file and save as after that but I am afraid to get too much deeper in the project.
Has anybody else had problems with this?
I'm running XP Pro, SP2 on a Athlon X2 Dual 4800+ 2.41ghz

A complete reinstall of ArchiCAD would not hurt. The start-up dialog is actually an add-on, that might have had corrupted someway. Reinstall will probably fix it.

Thanks Gergely,
A reinstall or repair worked fine.

Does anybody else have a useless grid dialog like the one shown below? Once I have placed the grid system using Design->Grid System->Grid System Settings... I can no longer edit the grids. This is happening on every computer on which we installed the 1176 patch with the new Goodies.

We NEED to have this functionality back!

I had the same problem, solved by turning on the eye symbols in the following: options - > work environment - > tool settings dialog boxes.

That's interesting. I never really noticed those eye symbols before. I can't imagine when I would ever would want to turn them off.

Thanks!

Has anyone experienced a "slow-down" after installing this hotfix? We have a team (one Teamwork file) that has slowed down considerably since installing the hotfix (actually, there is one person on the team is not experiencing this behavior) -- any suggestions?

We have found a problem with door markers that report zone data (e.g. the ID of the room the door opens into). Formerly this function worked bad if the door was in a multistory wall. The correction of this bug introduced the performance problem. We are working on the fix. For the time being, turn off room ID in door markers.

Thanks for the info gkmethy.

This is serious. Can you confirm that it's only in teamworks projects or does is affect all projects types? Any info appreciated.

Re: New hotfix for ArchiCAD 10

Greg Kmethy — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:38:17 GMT

It affects all project types, and not just door labels, but lists also, and any areas when door and window relation to zones are analyzed. For the time being, disabling the door markers should fix it. I am not sure if there is a scenario when you also need to turn off zones too, but I would not rule that out completely. We will release the fix as soon as we can.

I have installed the new hotfix and now whenever I start ArchiCAD the bug reporter appears, it doesn't even get to the start up screen.

I am concerned that if I install it on other machines the same will happen.

Can anybody help???

Thanks

Tom

jammy,

This sounds more like an installation problem, a repair from the original ArchiCAD CD and a reinstall of the Hotfix should clean it. If not, check drivers too. http://archicadwiki.com/crash

Yes -- this seems to have been the problem. This was the one team using a non-office-standard door marker that pulls the ID from the zone.

How is it affecting lists? We have had Element Schedules disappear -- is this related?

Re: New hotfix for ArchiCAD 10

Laura Yanoviak — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 22:06:28 GMT

OK -- now we are having significant slow-down with the same teamwork file in the S/E windows -- and other ideas?

No. I meant that generating door lists that use the To room and From room parameters might be slow. Please report the other problem to your local Tech support
