create model hotspots in section very slow

[David Bearss]

Windows task manager shows ArchiCAD not responding for 2 to several minutes. Small project so am not sure what would cause this.

Any guesses would be shots in the dark. What, if anything is unusual about this project?

Sorry to be so slow to respond to this but was resolved by re-boot.

Would like to resurrect this topic as this situation is becoming cumbersome. Cannot work in section view any longer. Any change to section view no matter how mundane effects at least 20 second ArchiCAD freeze up. Some delays are up to 15 minutes. Not project specific and projects are not complicated. Any way to diagnose what might be causing this? Any suggestions will be appreciated as this is drastically affecting work productivity.

Perhaps cleaning your preferences might help? (Be sure to save/export your Work Environment first to play it safe.)

So this is odd. Windows explorer could not show folders; Documents and Settings\<Username>\Application Data
or; Documents and Settings\<Username>\Local Settings\Application Data
until Did a search for them. Deleting those files seems to have helped ALOT! Will remember that one for sure. Thanks Karl.

OOPS spoke too soon. Edited story level and same thing is happening. Anything having to do with updating sections causes ArchiCAD to not respond. Any other suggestions?
