ArchiCad openGL in every view.

[Anonymous]

Full Open GL in every view. Graphisoft might be heading this way soon. I don't know. Archicad has had disabled options like hidden line view for open GL in the 3d window for some time. Things would surely work a lot faster if everything were done with open GL. No more regenerating sections and elevation etc.

The possibility would be to have two live views open at once (section/ floor plan etc.), and you could select a door in one view and it would highlight and move in all open views.

I'm working on a house renovation. As a test I set up some orthogonal open GL views of the model that corresponds to the sections/ elevations, roof plans, floor plans. It would be very fast if it were possible to work this way.

Add to that a new modeling and object making environment and we'd be in business. I know it easy to say.

I will many times will turn on shadows on the elevations for clarity and the lag time is significantly more.

I have noticed the time required has dropped substantially. Now it's just a minor annoyance that slows my work flow, rather than the royal pain it used to be.
