Hi all, so unfortunately i've managed to recreate my crashing scenario, thankfully I've been a little more diligent with my saves and am not relying on the autosave anymore, however the crashing is getting a little annoying now and would really like to resolve it so I can get some work done. I'm thinking that I have a graphics problem so if anyone is familiar with the Nvidia GeForce 310 and can help with the settings so as to get the best performance out of Archicad that would be greatly appreciated. I believe its a graphics problem because of three reasons: 1, the trace reference display is next to useless most of the time, it displays jittery when I move it (see attached image). 2, the 3D editing plane doesn't display with transparency, it shows up white, and so again it's also useless unfortunately - It may be worth noting that when I first installed archicad 15 onto my pretty much brandnew current (laptop) system the editing plane did display correctly, however I then plugged in my LG external display, which installed some software (since removed), and after that the editing plane won't display correctly. I've tried manipulating the graphics settings, including restoring factory settings, but unfortunatley I don't know enough about it for it to have any effect at all. And 3, representation of materials in the 3d window is sometimes pretty unreliable. Changes in materials, mostly to walls, is unreliable and often either doesn't change from whatever the previous material colour was, or just displays an incorrect colour - even two walls, next to eachother, of exactly the same material will show differently (occasionally causes issues with window transparencies as well). Though I will point out that this has been an issue accross multiple Archicad versions, multiple computers, and multiple system configurations, so it may be irrelivant to this particular situation.
It's probably also worth noting that the above 3d scenarios are all open GL, and other than these three issues, all other graphics performance is smooth and reliable
The crash scenario:
Using the 'Planned Status' renovation filter (the others seem to be fine) and selecting a trace reference storey from the project map causes a crash, usually the first trace reference selection does it, sometimes it takes a couple of reference switches, but inevitably it crashes.
So if anyone can help with graphics performance, or ofcourse if there are any other ideas of why this might be happening, any help would be really really appreciated. Thanks.
Nick
