Dual screens with instant updating - Page 5

My wish is to have dual screens with instant updating in Archicad. As far as I understand I have to click on the window on the other screen to update it. It would have been smoother to have an imediate update. As soon as I alter something in the plan view, it will automatically change in the 3D window and section/elevation.

I also youse Bentley and have had two monitors and now 3 since late 80ish.

It is the best thing to ever happen to products like this.

there is nothing negative and all positive. Never a glitch or a slow down ONLY increased production.

Great, another much needed feature removed from the roadmap for AI slop nobody wants 😀

I started Cad modeling in 1986 . Dual monitors on a PC within a couple years we have usr of two Monitors with 4 views each. This all in hte early 80s then very quickly up to four monitors with 4 views each.

Right now, on my other machines that are 4 years old I can have 4 monitors with 4 views each.

Now that Bentley and Autodesk have the more members, I need to review of why I use Archicad.

All three are good platforms. I hate the Autodesk company and cannot trust them. There costs are to high.

So I have come to the conclusion that neither Bentley nor Archicad can compete as it is too easy to move to Revit and be more competitive. Note Archicad and AESOSim are not cheaper than Revit. But there is greater support from the community for Autodesk.

Think about it. If you were buying software (Revit, AECOSim, Archicad) all at the save cost why would you pick anything but Autodesk?

WE need the ability for 4 Monitors with up to 4 views on each monitor. All live - no lag.

Any type of view. Wireframe, line drawing, rendering, perspective , etc
