Splines and Magic Wand - AC 24

[daviiiiidave]

What happend here? Its not working.

I cant use the magic wand on splines cause archicad dont stop working and calculating.

It doenst work with fills, it doesnt work with mesh nor with morph.

I had to kill archicad the 100th time via task manager while trying to finish some competition plans.
Its so messed up.

Seems like somebody messed up the code for the magic wand calculation.

Try unchecking the preview of the magic wand selection. It worked for me.

It's 2024 and this issue is still not solved. Why? Does the Graphisoft team have something personal against urbanists? I really wand an aswer on this one

With the uncheck of the magic wand preview, this actually works A LOT better, but it is not a solution.

in Archicad 27, the same issue persists, whether with preview enabled or not ( disabling the preview helps but it is still also slow).

Paradoxaly, export to dwg, import the dwg. the spline came as polyline, then magic wand ...

As you can see in the short video, the algorithm to find the boundary isn’t very clever. It is kind of ballooning, for that reason it can only find the outer edges, but not the inner ones. My assumption is, that the "highlight"-algorithm and the "magic wand"-algorithm are the same. For that reason it (mostly) works for the magic-wand-stuff, but not for highlighting, because it has to start over and over again with every new mouse position.
