Archicad 25 3d Vector edge quality

I'm thinking it may be a result of the switch to using Metal instead of OpenGL, but wondering if anyone knows of a way to improve the 3d vector appearance. After moving to Archicad 25, some 3d styles at some angles result in very low quality polygon edges in the 3d window (jagged looking vectors). Any Mac users know of any settings to improve, either within Archicad or within the Mac platform?

Is 3D anti-aliasing turned on in your Work Environment?

FYI: For whatever wicked reason GS deciced it would be great to disable this option in the OOTB work environment from v25 on.
