WISH: True multi monitor support on windows

Self explanatory, be able to move tabs to a different window without stretching the main archicad window across multiple screens.

It means that you can see the interactive operation of the plane or the elevation at the same time? If it is this wish, I support it

Yes basically, elevation one screen, floor plan another etc
I imagine you would have to click into a view to get updates, real time updating all open views might be too heavy on performance?

Would be ideal if it was real time interactive though.

Hi,

 

if you look at other 3D software like Rhino / Blender / 3Ds max, they show a model in 4 windows with real-time overview of the model and you can clearly see what are you doing. It is more responsive and more connected to a workflow of a designer.

 

But Archicad is having hard time rendering elements even for simple shading model. I don't know how, but i think that is has somehow slow  engine for computing geometry in a view. I also work in Blender and it can handle millions of polygons in one model without shutter. When I switch to Archicad I can feel it is very slow even for 100k polygon model. I know it is due to solid element operations and other stuff, but I still think it is too slow.

 

Have a nice day

Martin
