AC 26 MacOS Ventura Apple Silicon Bugs

Where can we report bugs? I keep running into issues after recently changing my entire setup. I was on AC22 on a 10-year-old mac and moved to AC 26 on a Mac Studio M1 Max. I'm now missing my old machine. Even though it was slow, I could at least do things! If anybody can point me where to go or if you know of solutions to any of these issues, please let me know.

 

1 - Line Tool - cannot select different line type or change line type once drawn

2 - Rendering with Cineware Maxon - it will not render when the "sub-polygon displacement" setting is turned on

3 - Archicad crashes every time I try to use "Page Setup"

4 - 3D views appear grainy/low-res. Everything else on my computer is 4k resolution and performs fine. It's just within the Archicad window that 3D views (non-rendered) appear low-res

If you search for ‘Ventura’ there is an article explaining some of the issues.

ou can select the line type using the arrow keys on the keyboard as a workaround. The other issues you mention, I haven’t come across. The page setup could mean your printer driver needs to be updated to a Ventura compatible version.

The answer to that is the same as it has always been: your local technical support.  Since you are running the USA version, that would be Graphisoft North America in Massachusetts.

Reporting here can be helpful to others, and allow others to attempt to reproduce your issues though.  So, consider doing both. 🙂

I'm suffering the Page Setup crash as well. Total mayhem. I've resorted to creating a publisher set for everything, as that, somehow, just works with the Master Page settings. Then I print the resulting PDF. But would love to have proper functionality back.
