Pen Color Settings - Definition Accuracy

Anonymous — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:21:14 GMT

ArchiCAD 16 is not retaining the exact definition of pens in terms of color. This is true whether it is set via HSV settings or RGB. For example, if a color is set to 30/25%/50% on the HSV sliders, it will become something like 30/28%/42%. There seems to be a general approximation occurring. This is frustrating because we are trying to set-up a presentation color palette with predictable and accurately defined colors.

By the way, this condition is also apparent in the material editor as well.

Is there a obscure setting somewhere in ArchiCAD for color accuracy? I do not believe it is a video card issue, because the colors will remain unchanged in other applications like PhotoShop.

The system parameters are:
MAC OS X, 10.8.2
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
ArchiCAD 16, build 3270

Thank you,

JFA

Follow-Up:

For what it is worth and for those interested, the above issue has been reported to Graphisoft as a "bug". The effect was repeated with identical results by both our Reseller and Graphisoft on a MAC environment. I need to test the condition on a PC as well.
