Hello,
My Rig:
Motherboard: Asus X570 Prime Pro
CPU: AMD 3900X
RAM: 64GB DDR4 3200MHz Kingston (2X32GB) dual channel
GPU: Sapphire NITRO+ RX 5700 XT 8G GDDR6
My problem is when i open some complex (.bmi) files with layers of construction (plans, elevations, sections, etc) it takes long time to open and i can see that my cpu and gpu are at almost idle workloads.
My question how can i make Archicad utilize my hardware resources at full potential.
Thanks in advance.
Besta regards

What is a BMI file format? Is this coming from another application?
I was not aware Archicad can open such a file format.

I don't think that it is an error that you see low CPU utilization while opening a project. Archicad is still working on the file as fast as it can and processing the contents.
There are times when you really see that CPU cores are used to the fullest, for example, when rendering with the CineRender Engine. But the fact that you do not see your CPU usage spike during file opening does not mean that Archicad is not working on it as fast as it can.
