Mac Studio unimpressive?

[heathldesign]

Well, I got my Mac Studio and upgraded to V26 apple silicon and so far, meh. But I’m not convinced that there isn’t something wrong with my machine. I have several issues like spinning beach ball when saving a small file and when I pan in 2d the view moves slightly then pauses, then then pans. But the inertia affect doesn’t happen most of the time. And when I pinch to zoom, there is a pause as well. Anyone else experiencing this?

I’ve been in touch with tech support and they are telling me that it’s normal to have the beach ball when saving. Really? I really doubt that. Anybody else see the BB when saving? I’m not talking about closing a file, I mean just saving while working.

i have a 2 year old Mac Studio which is supposed to be killer, way over the min. AC 27 system requirements. If saving a file causes a kernel panic then GS has a serious problem.

Where are you saving to?

The local hard drive, a network drive, a cloud sync folder (i.e. one drive or dropbox) or BIMcloud?

I have no experience with MACs, but local drive should be almost instant.

Other locations will take longer.

Hi Barry,

its my local drive. I just received another email from tech support telling me this is normal. What a load of garbage. It’s a simple single storey house with nothing complicated. A few complex profile walls, but only AC library objects. I’ll check the polygon count tomorrow but I know it’s nothing. If this were really the case, I can’t imagine that large firms doing even medium size projects would sit happily by watching the beach ball while the bloody thing saved. 2-3 seconds on my wee house  it would take minutes for a large file. I wish some else would chime in on their Mac experience .

My current 100mb 2 storey house takes like 3 seconds to save, though that is to a NAS, and I think my 500mb files take about the same time. Should probably upgrade to a SSD based NAS...
