In Archicad 9, you can use "Manual Rebuild."<BR /> <BR /> Is any "non-needed" layer turned off? Are you interior layers turned off when you build elevations? Are your section depths appropriate? (elevations only go to ridge line, not through entire building) Fri, 17 Jun 2005 18:49:58 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Waiting-for-3D-updates-as-the-clock-ticks/m-p/106773#M56218 TomWaltz 2005-06-17T18:49:58Z Re: Waiting for 3D updates......as the clock ticks https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Waiting-for-3D-updates-as-the-clock-ticks/m-p/106774#M56219 You can tell AC to not auto rebuild the 3d window by going to work environment imaging and calculation. Deselect the appropriate settings, you are now in control.
