Apple MBP M2 MAX sucks.

[Jimmy]

my 2cents, hopefully this might save others time and money.

just bought a new mbp m2 max, it sucks, im returning it. 

It doens't come close to my alienware x17r2 (i7 with rtx 3080 ti)

3d modeling is just terrible, where I spend a lot of time.
I didn't buy this machine for rendering.

I would guess it is a model issue again and not the Mac.

• 4000'x4000' terrain with a lot of nodes
• subtract 75 walls 400' long and 400' High
• Time 10 seconds with 3 other ACs open.

As a test change the Intersection Priority (In Layers) of the elements you are using to subtract from the mesh

Rotating 50 walls 6 seconds to rebuild

Adding 81 slabs (100'x100') and SEO with Upward extrusion ±50 sec

[Eduardo Rolon]

But AC25 running in emulation is only a little bit slower.

On another note an SEO of 75 walls is slower than the one for 81 Slabs.

Thanks Mr. Stelvio :)))

Ok, Graphisoft Support send me an email, saying that the problem is yet the model not the Mac: 27,000 polygons in my Mesh it seems too much 🤔 ...but Apple say that my computer is INSANELY GREAT :))) WTF.........

Please, can you explain me how to interpretate your previous posts? Thanks!

I think if you buy the Quad Giulia and try to tow a cart with 200 bags of cement on it, the giulia might move a little slow, if at all, and it shouldn't be a surprise that your 0-60 time will suffer. 😁

Ok, but how many polygons does Archicad consider "many", "very many", "********" you idiot architect"? :))
I tried to install the Goodies containing the Polygon Count but for now I don't see it in the Palette list...
p.s. if I bought the Giulia Quadrifoglio I would warn you :))

[Eduardo Rolon]

The answer is that it depends. You always try to minimize or have to wait…

[Unabend]

Ok... 27000 polygons is too much for Apple M2MAX... 

But "max" what??? 👹

Or the problem is the "brain" of Archicad "apple silicon"...

[Eduardo Rolon]

The one above has 107,305 without issues on M1.

SO I would guess that there is something wrong with your Mesh or with your SEOs
