Statusbar doesn't appear (Archicad 10)

[Anonymous]

I recently changed from PC to Mac. My statusbar doens't show up. It is checked in the pallet list. I have moved all my tools around, then closed them all, unchecked and checked the satusbar palette and still I can't see it.
Any suggestion? Thanks...

My guess is that it's off the screen somewhere. Did you try a different Work Environment to see if it comes back?

try this:

Thanks for the prompt answer.

Tom, I did try changing Work Enviroment but the Statusbar still didn't appear.

Dwight, my settings are different from your image. I have a MacBook Pro 17" (laptop). My display options goes to max. of 1680 x 1650. I also don't have the option "Gather Window". Anyway I changed the display resolution just to check if the pallet would appear but it didn't...

that was the only way i got my status bar back. may want to save your we 1st.

Same problem with AC11 now...I'm also on a MacBook Pro. New & Reset does nothing. Restarting AC11 and selecting Create a New Project with the GS Template doesn't work.

Any other thoughts out there other than connecting to a larger display, moving the palette in (I assume it's out there SOMEWHERE), and redefining the Work Environment?

Not sure with V11 (don't have it yet) but I assume it is the same as previous versions.

Right click on any of the tool bars or minimise all working windows and right click on the background.
You should be able to select the staus bar from the pop-up.

Thanks for the ideas, but...ummm...what? Is that a Windows thing? I'm on a Mac, and right-clicking on toolbars doesn't do anything. Am I misreading?

I'm not clear on "minimize all working windows and click on the background"...Windows again, perhaps? When I use Expose on the Mac to see all my windows, no palettes of any sort are shown...

Yes sorry, I am talking Windows PC here.
Never having used a Mac I am not familiar with your terminology or methods.

Right mouse clicking on a Windows PC brings up a context sensitive menu - not sure how you would do this on a Mac then.

By "minimise all working windows" I mean to hide all the plans, elevation, 3D, etc., windows in Archicad but leave Archicad running so you can see the background.
But you will of course have the same ricght mouse click problem here.

Sorry I wasn't much help for you Mac users but it does work on a PC.
