AC9 Crashing durring rendering.

Every time I do a rendering, my AC9 crashes. A bug report goes to Graphisoft but I doubt I will hear from them. These are small buildings and not very complicated. I am using an older G4 Mac. Is that the problem.

I am not a Mac guy, but from reading previous posts, if you quit ArchiCAD, then delete all your ArchiCAd-related preferences from the system, and restart ArchiCAD, that could help.
If you search through the forum, you can find what these preference files are.

After making changes it no longer crashes but now all the renderings are a completely white screen. What next?

After restarting several times, its back to crashing on each rendering.

have you got so many 'sun' objects in there that it's got so much to calculate and/or washing everything out?

one other thing besides your preference, delete the caches (~/Library/Caches/Graphiosft/<find the relevent files in here> ) and have another go . . .

keep us posted.
