Archicad 29 BIMcloud SAAS very slow

[Maria Calogeropulos]

Hi!

We are experiencing problems with Archicad 29 and BIMcloud SaaS in our company. When working in a Teamwork file, we frequently encounter errors, or the system becomes very slow. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? We don't see the same problems in Archicad 28. 

This happened every day since november when we started working in AC29. 

Kind regards,

Maria

ya'll remember when GS had that marketing thing about "Archicad, Faster than Ever", and their BUD release party had side by side comparison between Archicad and Revit?

where did those days go? I just waited 4.5 hours for a f***ing file to open! it's a 3.5GB file on the bimcloud. I went to connect to the bimcloud manager, and just to get to the log-in screen took 5-6 minutes.
I mean... at this point, its not a matter of "is archicad or revit better?"... we gotta ask... is autocac+sketchup or archicad better?
FR... this ***t is Sssssssllllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
...
I remember being a huge fan and advocate of archicad. I couldn't say enough about archicad superiority... but if someone hits me up and asks if I can help them transition ot AC, I gotta hesitate... yeah... I can... but maybe keep doing what you're doing until they figure a few things out... doesn't feel ethical to encourage them to move into this **** show

The reality is that there is no BIM application that does not run into hardware/software limitations after a certain point. 

Have you thought about breaking up the project into smaller files so that they are easier to manage?

Breaking up the model into several project files? Or, separating the model and documentation into two separate project files?

[Patrick M]

he Laszlo, I think breaking files up is a great suggestion, and we routinely do, even on large single family residential projects, we often have:
-separate files for each building
-a separate file for the site and site plan
-a separate file for extended site and context
-a separate file for details (where detail layouts are more than 20-30 pages)
...
but it is noticeable that Archicad has been getting progressively slower and slower the past few versions; to the point that we have files in 29, that just 1 month ago were slow but function in 28. They would take 20-30 min to open in AC28; since migrating, we wait 3-5 hours, and often get a crash immediately after opening. 
I'd agree it could be a workflow or file limitation if I didn't have the exact apples to apples comparison. My projects routinely span 3-5 years; and yeah, they get sloppy and bloated over the years. We routinely take them off the BIM server, strip them back, and load clean files. That used to work to get things running. I even tested on problem file out by saving it back to 28... it runs WAY faster in 28 than 29.

moreover, I don't think the OP's original screen shot is the same issue as the BIMcloud speed issues. The huge uptick in teamwork errors and failed s/r notifications is a separate problem in Archicad 29 and BIMcloud.
