Dialogue box changed settings not inacted in AC

Anonymous — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 21:53:49 GMT

Often when I set dialogue boxed setting repeated times (to find out what might be a better result since AC does not offer any ranges etc for all of the dialogue box settings) it appears that I over run the number of allowable changes becasuse the changes will not be effected...no matter what I do. This is also true in my use of the cutaway tool.
If my assumption is true, or are there resetting tools so that I can start all over, or are there other recommendations?

Thanks, Paul

Are you using Archicad 9? If so, are you saving changes to your Work Environment?

The Archicad Work Environment allows you to save all your dialog box settings so you do not lose them.

Thanks Tom - Yes we are using similar machines etc...Mine is has OS 10.4.4 with a 2.3 dual G5's, But I am not trying to save and setting I am trying to change settings....because they often will not change. That is the question that has me on edge today.

Could give us an example of what you are trying to do?

I am not trying to do any one operation in AC. It is the system! How and why.... to use it. If I find the answer for one issue and do not know why...like settings must be set in a certain order or settings are never released or...?... I am still lost because tomorrow I know not much more than I do today. Sorry to be so indirect but AC's intructions seldom show the extent of this. ie. a sun setting can be 400 ? when listed with 4 other settings that can be...?..and why - 100% is not an answer for the total or the individual setting. Does this have a logic ?

Thanks, Paul
