AC 15, 16 selection is really slow!!

[alemanda]

Dear All,
I have a problem with AC 15/16 since I installed them on my machine (DELL T7400 dual quad core + 8GB RAM + Nvidia Quadro FX1700). I kept AC12 and 13 on the same machine.
Working on AC 15/16 selection of objects and entities in the 3D window is really slow specially when I select more item using SHIFT+CLICK. If I click quickly on several items (let's say 10 items in 2 seconds) the last item appears as selected after 3/4 seconds from the last click ...
I installed the latest drivers for the graphic card and I'm using the latest hotfix for both AC15 and 16.
Do some of you face the same problems?
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks to all
Ciao

Is it a bug?

Hi alemanda,

Do you have any Add-Ons installed? Please try to uninstall the Add-Ons first and check ArchiCAD again.
Can you reproduce the slowness in a new, default project too?
Are ArchiCAD 12 and 13 OK?

I'm waiting for your response.
Regards,

Hi,
What kind of add-on do you intend? Third part add on?
Let me know.

[Katalin Takacs]

Yes, some 3rd party Add-Ons, e.g. Cadimage, Cigraph
You can check all of the installed Add-Ons in the Add-On Manager dialog (Options menu » Add-On Manager)
Please note, that this collection contains the internal and the 3rd party Add-Ons as well.

Ok,
With archicad 13 everything was fine. Multiple selection (shif + click) was almost real time even in big projects.

I have some 3rd party addon installed on AC 15 (Cadimage keynote expired trial, etc.)
I have an addon installed on AC16 (it's the exporter to Artlantis 3).

With the addons installed I have the same slowness even with a new+reset project made of just 20 walls with some openings.

I'm going to unistall all of them and check again.

In another PC (same hardware configuration with the same OS) I get the same behavior, in my laptop also the same.
I tried to unistall the addons but I get the same result.

Dear alemanda,

Our Support Team will contact you shortly.

Thanks.

Thank you for your assistance that helped us to find the source of the slowness in 3D selection. ArchiCAD 15's feature that enables hidden geometry to be visible during the Selection Highlight caused the problem.
To offer a temporary solution in ArchiCAD 16, one of the next Hotfixes will contain a registry key to switch to the selection feedback of the previous versions.
