has this slowdown bug been fixed in 8.1 (OSX)

[Aussie John]

Hi,
Since version 7 the more i generate 3d views the slower the proceedure becomes until I am forced to restart Archicad.

Is this an issue with version 8.1 or can anyone enlighten me as to a workaround.

Indeed is this a problem for other users?

As far as I can tell this is not an issue with 8.1

1. John, are you using Theometric Door/WindowBuilder?
There was an issue of major slowing down in 8.0 however GS & Theometric have fixed this.

2. Upgrade the Hardware?

1)No I dont use Theometric D/W builder

2)It doesnt seem to be a hardware issue.
The 3d rebuilds are fast at first but get slower after doing a number of them and continue to ge slower the more times I rebuild a 3d. Indeed the general response of archicad slows. Sounds like a memory leak to me.

Just got some news - it is a memory leak, and the probable culprit is the video card driver. Try updating it or try on a different machine with different video card/driver with the same file.

[Aussie John]

interesting - I'll look for any updates to the drivers

[Aussie John]

seems the video drivers are coded directly into the MacOS

Djordie, is this an issue in 8.1?

you may have already updated your graphics card drivers when you installed 10.3?

i haven't experienced too much slowing down from 8.0v3 with 10.2.x. i'm using 8.1 now on a powerbook with 10.3 and an ATI mobility 7 graphics card with 32MB ram . . .

I dont have another card to try so will have to wait for 8.1

I'm not holding my breath

Don't know, never encountered it.
