The setting is under Options> Work Environment> More Options… and it gives you a choice to open viewpoints* in an existing tab or in a new tab. And as we will discover, each active tab takes up just a little more RAM, so this setting can have quite a profound impact on your computer’s resources as well as your workflow.

The Tab Bar and tab behavior differ slightly between PC and Mac and this is purely due to technical limitations and behavior of each operating system.īefore we dig deeper, please be aware that there is a rather significant Work Environment setting that affects how tabs are opened. I'd rather focus on moving forward than comparing the tab functionality to the window behavior of previous versions, but it is important to know that tabs are essentially just shortcuts to windows! And I don’t mean anything to do with the window tool, I am talking about the various panes we can view our model and its data through. Obviously this is a huge time saver as it eliminates a lot of waiting time, and this is the main reason why tabs were introduced. If the viewpoint is not in the Tab Bar then it won’t be included in predictive background processing. As soon as you click on either of them, they will be updated almost immediately. So as you’re busy making changes to the model in the plan view, the section and elevation are calculating in the background. The FLOOR PLAN is the currently active tab, but the SECTION and ELEVATION tabs are also enabled. ARCHICAD simply updates any tabs you have enabled in the background, while you are working in your current tab. So how can ARCHICAD predict what you want processed? Well that’s where tabs come in. So cool in fact that GRAPHISOFT have a patent pending for it. But Predictive Background Processing is even cooler.

And your web browser does it when you have multiple browser windows or tabs open, simultaneously loading web pages. Your operating system does it when running multiple applications at the same time. Regular ol’ Background Processing should already be familiar to you. The theme of ARCHICAD 19 is ‘Faster Than Ever’ and a big part of that includes ‘Predictive Background Processing’. As with most things in trying to make ARCHICAD simple for the end-user, GRAPHISOFT product designers must solve many complicated issues, and Tabs are no exception! James has been very helpful in providing advice, tips, and even technical limitations surrounding Tabs. And who better to collaborate with than the GRAPHISOFT Product Designer tasked with implementing Tabs into ARCHICAD: James Badcock? ARCHICAD 19 brings us Tabs, but what are they, why were they introduced and what's the most efficient way to use them? We'll answer all these questions as we take an in-depth look at what tabs can and can’t do, then armed with that knowledge introduce best practices to use them efficiently.
