Dragging/editing elements

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:30:52 GMT

PLEASE HELP!!!!

I'm in a floor plan view and when I click on an object and try to move it if I click on the drag icon in the pop up box and then scroll my mouse it completely removes the ghost outline/boundary for where I will place the new item? I know what I have done but it won't "undo" and I can't get it to go back to "normal" (where I can see the ghost outline) unless I close the whole file and reopen it!!! Very time consuming and annoying?

Any suggestions Archicad pro's!?!!?

I recently had similar problems in 3D (and saw some other reports) they went away with the last hotfix. Are you up to date?

GS releases periodic updates and bug repairs which they call hotfixes. By default ArchiCAD is set to check for updates automatically but if you have for whatever reason missed one you can use "Check for Updates" (in the Help Menu as I recall). That will tell you if you are on the latest version.

OTOH the problem is likely a video driver glitch and these seem to pop uplike weeds so there's no guarantee that an update will fix it.
