Sizing running slowly

Emrys — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 08:27:14 GMT

Hi!
I have a problem with sizing in my 246 KB file. During any operation connected with dimensions on my floor plan, sizing is running so slowly. When I take a 2D or detal of the floor plan, sizing works correctly. Do you know what can be the problem of this?

What do you mean by 'sizing'?

Zooming, scaling, dimensioning?

I am not understanding what you are having trouble with.

Dimensioning 🙂

So actually placing dimension in plan is slow?

I have not heard of this.

Is it slow as you try to select the point to dimension, or is it just slow when you want to place the final dimension?

Or are you using the automatic dimension command (Document menu > Document Extras> Automatic Dimensioning)?

What Archicad version are you using (and is it up to date with the latest build)?

And what machine specs and operating system are you using?

So the problem is with all of dimensioning tool. Even if i click on this tool, cursor is turning into circle, and the programme is being crushed. It happens when I click on the tool, then when I click on any object/point/wall/etc. It is impossible to put final dimension on floor plan.
I work on Archicad 25, educational version, and I think thats not a technical problem (I have tried on 3 different devices, also with "normal" license). On all of mentioned devices bigger files (2,5GB) worked normally. I dont know what is going on 😞

If it is working fine for other files, but just not for this one, then I would suspect something wrong with the file.

What that could be I have no idea.

But you can try to repair the file - I am not sure if it will help or not though.

Close just the file (save it if you need to) but don't close Archicad.

Now go to the FILE menu > Open > Open and browse for that file.

Tick the option to 'Open & Repair' the file.

Unfortunetely, it didn't help 😞 Something wrong with the file, but I don't know what.

I had exactly the same problem with the dimensioning. Problem was I had very detailed railings on the plan. MVO doesn't helps with this. If I hid the railing layer, the problem disappeared. In my opinion, this is a bug.
Try to hide the railing layer.

Hi, I found that the problem was with 2 of the layers. Hiding them didn't solve the problem, but when I deleted them- the problem also dissapeared.
Thanks for all help 🙂

Best regards,

Just look

It is after hiding layer

I am wondering what the dependence is.

Emrys — Wed, 03 Aug 2022 11:54:23 GMT

Yes, exactly that is the cause 🙂 most important that it works!

Karolina, I think for other community users it may be important what the dependence is. Could you describe if you only had a problem with layers or also with the railing. For me, deleting the layer didn't help because the railing was assigned to another layer. And the problem was exactly because of the detailed railing.

Could someone from @GRAPHISOFT say if it's a bug, or maybe we are we doing something wrong?

Andrii Levko:

I reported this during beta testing with an example file and screen recording. In my case the railing was on a visible layer, but off screen; making the railing layer hidden was the work around. So they are aware.

So it seems there is a bug. I'm just curious have you reported after beta testing which version?

Andrii Levko:

I only reported this during beta test.
