The screen shot is from 2 different files. Both created in with different AC versions (more than likely). I want 300 pixels, which some files have, but some have 72. In both cases the rendering size is the same and the pixel section is greyed out. When I load each in Pixelma...

Is there a way to easily transfer colors between the basic rendering settings and the Cinerender engine? The only way I know I know is to open the color wheel, under basic, write down the RGB numbers, open the color under Cinerender and enter them. I am basically using thing...

Anyone else noticed this after updating to Sequoia??? This sucks big time for me. I have/had project previews set for hundreds of files that I routinely open. This is important for my work flow. I am on AC26, so I can't expect Graphisoft to fix it, if that is needed. I have ...

This might be unavailable in AC, but a need I have none the less. The context is I am trying to make my business more user friendly for help not skilled in AC. I have around 400 different PLN's I maintain and regularly send out PDF sets. Essentially I send out 2 versions, on...

I believe this started after a Ventura update, or maybe AC26 update. CodeMeter no longer starts up automatically at computer start up. The preference pane shows "start services" so I unlock it, start services, lock it back, but it does not restart on computer restart. I've n...

This has been an important find for me. I am a bit unusual in that I have had a web site since the 90's selling "stock" plans. I am not focusing on high end, but the opposite actually... infill lots and small plans. Often for the affordable market. For years I used the vecto...

I had auto system updates turned off, and thought I was updating Sequoia.. but now I have Tahoe. I do use Cinerender a lot, so I am worried. I am on AC26. I opened a project, that had a rendering set up, and it generated fine. I have not messed with any settings however. Are...

Ha.. love the term ArchGeezer. I wonder if anyone, besides you and me, are left from when this "forum" was via group email exchange.

I guess it's a permanent issue, and those of us relying on the preview icon are screwed. I have no intention to upgrade AC versions with all the mess (money) involved. It seems GS was told to make a change and had not for AC26. Seems they could have. This is from Affinity fo...

I totally relate. I have been using AC since the mid 90's developing a catalog of plans I sell. Since I have a perpetual license at least I can work on them as long as the hardware/software permits. I will stay on AC26. I too am at the end of my time here, but for the sake o...
