Hello,
I frequently use the "Explore Model" option to fly around the building and see if everything is working smoothly. Since upgrading to 12, whenever I use the Explore Model, it does nothing the first time. I select the "little man" icon, and usually I can navigate right away. Now, it temporarily freezes the screen. I have to push escape and do it again, sometimes 3 times before I can actually explore.
Is this a bug that needs to be fixed or is there a way around this?
Anyone else have this happen??
In my limited testing in AC12 so far, there appears to be a pause of maybe 1/4 of a second after clicking the free explore button, before any movement takes place.
If in this time I press the arrow keys too quickly to start navigating before I move the mouse, (which I clearly do too regularly), the 3d window doesn't recognise any movement. If you then try to click in the window to alert it of your presence, it will leap to the position where your previous pressing of your arrow keys would have taken you, if you could have seen it. A little annoying especially if you are working away at top speed.
This never occurred in AC11 on exactly the same model, with exactly the same person operating it! So the moral of the tale is...... work slower than you could in AC11 and the problem won't occur!
Seriously though, I have lost count the number of times I have done it this evening. I know I'm clearly going too fast for it, and I just have to pause for a smidgeon, but muscle memory is difficult to reprogram.
I'll try updating the graphics card drivers later and see if that helps.
Still looking?
