memory full in archicad 17 (but not in arch 16)

Anonymous

hello everyone
has someone any idea how to solve this issue:
when you draw in archicad 17 a simple triangle mesh with equal sides (or similar drawings),
then reshape it with arc radius with same side dimension, the result occurs a report (memory full or similar), which doesnt depend from PC performance or graphic card, from magic wand settings or mesh settings.
(same thing work fine in archicad 16)

thank you

There is no error in plan in 16 but there is in 3D (see attached image).
It seems to be a problem with the geometry when the radius is exactly the same as the length of the sides.
Make the radius 0.1mm bigger or smaller and it works.
Making the length of the horizontal side slightly different doesn't work but oddly enough changing the length of the vertical side slightly does.

And it only seems to be a problem with the mesh too - fill and slab are fine.

Barry.
