I would recommend that you upgrade to either ArchiCAD 8.1 or version 9 ( or even better version 10). Version 8 was full of tons and tons of bugs such as the GDl error you seem to be having which is why they quickly released version 8.1 shortly afterwards as a free upgrade.

 

1) for the Auto-refresh question, change the setting in your Section/Elevation line settings from 'Autorebuild' to 'Manual Rebuild' or 'Drawing' ( if you want to de-link it from the model, that is). That will make the sections and elevations only update when you tell them to, and not all the time.

 

2) I'm not sure what's giving you that GDL debug error per se, but like I said, it is probably an error related to the fact that it is version 8.0. You should try to get either version 8.1, 9.0 or 10, to avoid those kinds of errors.

hi brick and tnx 4 your reply.

about your 2nd tip- i kinda handled it although i m working om getting archicad10 edu version. it seems really powerful and much improved.

 

about your 1st tip on the other hand u didnt really get what i meant which is how 2 cancel the auto-refresh of the plan and not the elevations\sections dwgs, if that is possible at all. so is it?
