Guideline grip takes forever to show up in AC24

I'm hoping it's not just me who has had this issue and that someone has found a fix.

When I upgraded to AC24 from AC23 I noticed that it seemed to take a really long time for the orange grip to show up when I hovered my mouse over the guideline to move it. Sometimes it won't even show up if the guideline is on top of a reference line for a wall or something. When I open an old file in AC23 I don't have this problem.

I've been working around it for a few months but it is quite annoying and I'm hoping there is just a setting in work environment or something that I need to change. I just haven't found the solution yet.

Anyone else have this issue?

No. Works instantly. I didn't notice any difference. Are you using Windows or Mac? Maybe it's a problem with graphic card? Try to update video driver to the latest and ensure, that you have the latest ArchiCAD update.

Time will tell but that seems to have worked I thought I had my drivers set to auto update but I guess not.
Thanks for the tip.

To improve response performance, you may also disable the ‘Auto-rebuild model viewpoints continuously’ feature (in WE settings) while keeping the latent Background Updating feature active. I found this provides better responses on a large model.

Does reducing the value of "Options>Work Environment>Input Constraints and Guide>Highlight as snap reference after x.xx sec." help?

Marc and Richard - Brad posted that updating video/graphics drivers as suggested by Podolsky resolved his issue. 🙂

Karl, thank you for pointing this out. I just posted another possibility in the event that the OP later discovered that the problem was not actually solved.

We are having this issue. With Archicad 25, -PC-, Nvidia 3080, latest GPU driver, latest Archicad. all updated.

Hello,

Thank you very much for reporting the issue!

May I ask whether the slowness appears even with a brand new file or with only some projects? We haven't received any similar cases from the first-tier support in the past, so I guess this must be a computer-specific problem.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Minh
