Hello all;

I was wandering if someone can help me, I just downloaded Archicad 21 since I was working on 18 for a long time with no problems. But now in the archicad when the project get to some point of complexity (not really so complex) the model starts to appear odd (like with some vectorial transparency) when I move througt it. And until now I cant find which is the problem!

Here is a example in a model I just created to show you whats happening:

would apreciate if anyone can help me.

Looks like the internal basic engine, and not OpenGL.
Check the 3D style you have applied to the 3D window, each style saves which engine you are using. You can access the 3D styles dialogue from the context menu or options bar at the bottom.

Hi thanks for your answer!, I already tried to change to every other 3D style and this happens in all of them (except the ware-frame style wich works pretty slow), about the OpenGl some of the styles say something like "OpenGL engine no aviable"
any clue?
thank you

Check the Add-on Manager, to see the status of OpenGL.

I don’t have AC in front of me until Monday. You can try checking your video card drivers to see if they are up to date also.
