v.11 Problem

[Anonymous]

hello there
i have a problem with v.11.
i m using it for 1 week now and it goes very very slow
while v.10 was faster and of course v.9 faster than v.10 but this thing with v.11 is unbearable. i cannot work any project with furniture and equipment on. but even if it is off it's not going so much faster.
i already ordered 1GB extra RAM ( i now have 1GB) and i was wondering
is this problem going to be solved?

thanks a lot

What area is exactly show? Generating 3D, navigating 3D, panning and zooming in 2D, updating drawings or layout... Can you be more specific please?

yes im sorry.
its slow in planning and zooming in 2D. thats strange for me because most of the time i had troubles generating and navigating in 3D but now i dont have this. i have problems only in 2D.
drawings and layouts i dont use

and when i draw sth in 2D its going very slowly
as if you re watching a video from a cd that the driver cannot read well and its going frame by frame

The only significant difference I can think of is that AC 11 now uses DirectX display technology for some of the 2D feedback effects. If your video card supports DirectX, but does not do it very well, that might cause such problems. Try to update your video card driver, maybe that helps. It is also possible to turn off DirectX support, but that requires fumbling in the Windows Registry, so first please check your drivers.

I've seen the same thing, usually just in plans as well

My key won't recognize 970 yet so I am still on RC1 897 but the same thing is true for me too.

Surround something with the marque tool and it will go even slower,
remove the marque and it will be noticeably faster, but still not fast enough to work at a comfortable speed.

I am using 2 GB of RAM with old 1.7 GHz Pentium M processor, NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700. (Dell M60)

Do we need more than that now ?

there are many things in play here . . . there are the new 2D feedback graphics and the new ghosting effects, but on top of that, the 'redraw' method has changed such that you don't see the entire thing redraw piece by piece anymore - it just appears almost instantly after the redraw has been calculated. to the user the perception is of a slower redraw . . . which isn't good.

however: you are also right that the 2D speed is significantly slower. greg: #59085 and #64087. apparently you couldn't "manage to reproduce significant performance difference between AC10 and AC11". i seem to recall uploading two comparative screen videos for GS that clearly (at least to me) reproduced it.

is that a windows only thing? i couldn't find any 'directX' controls in the archicad plist file . . .
