projecting issue

Anonymous

Every time I move a model in 3D, a window comes up named "projecting" and starts loading. I've searched both ArchiTalk and the WorldWideWeb, and found nothing.

Is there a setting of some kind of box I need to "uncheck", to get rid of this annoying window?

Tried all the 3D window settings, and nothing seems to work.

You have a setting that rebuilds your model whenever you activate the 3D window. MAybe.

Options> Work Environment> Imaging and Calculation.

The one sentence answer is like shooting a charging bear dead with one shot.
I almost have enough claws for a necklace, now.

Afraid I have to disappoint you, but the problem seems to be back again!

It worked for a while, but now every time I move the model it "pop-up" and starts loading for ages. Is there some other setting?

What rendering engine are you using?? should be OPenGL.

If internal engine, then you are in for a wait, especially if shadows calculated.

How complex is model?

The bear is stirring. I must have just knocked him out.

I'm working in OpenGL, and my graphic card has never complained before.

One thing that comes to mind, is the fact that the model contains about 90 Archicad cars. I've worked with models with even more stuff put into it, and no "projecting" appeared.


If the bear wakes up and is looking for a fight, lay down and lay still

Your model finally got complex enough to make your machine slow enough for the information box to appear.

As for bears, here in BC they are teaching forestry workers that playing dead is NOT the way to deal with anything smaller than a Grizzly. The consensus is that the smaller bears - your blacks and your browns - actually hunt humans for food. If you lay still, they get to chowing down.

I see, time for a well-needed upgrade then. Dual processor or better. And a ton of RAM memory.

In our small scandinavian country, where bears are almost as rare as heat, we either play dead or try to hug them. Don't know which one works best.

Thank you for all your help.
