When I stop orbiting, I have to click the "Shaded" button again, even though it's already selected.
So, basically, every time I orbit, the shading disappears. After orbiting, I hit "Shaded" again to turn on shading.
I come from Archicad 18, where it worked fine.
Is this some setting, maybe?

Even for just a single wall or column?
I am wondering if it is a video card or lack of memory issue.
What are your machine specs?

Ok, I'm getting closer.
If I start a new project, it works fine, so that has to be something related to the file being created on archicad-18 and I'm now working in archicad-20.
I remember I saw a question to update my libraries or something, which I sadly declined.
Is there some way to bring up that question dialog box again?

This should check for both library and Archicad updates.

Hmm, not helping.
This is so frustrating;) If I make a new file and make some walls and the try to orbit, everything is working fine.
There must be some settings screwup here.
Can I reset all settings?
If not, can I somehow export everything and then import in the new archicad file?

Ok, I'm getting closer.
If I create a new archicad file, then orbit is working as expected, but if I add like 30 more walls, the same thing happens.
It seems it does this, because it thinks my cpu/gpu is not powerful enough.
Is there any way to override this? I can handle it being slow, ie
