Ribbon changes its size when selecting a profile view making C3D flicker

ecfernandez — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 16:59:12 GMT

Hi guys, I hope you're doing fine. I hope someone can help me.
When using C3D 2023, I have noticed an annoying situation that occurs when selecting any profile view. The ribbon increases its size and makes the whole window flicker. I have uploaded a screencast to show you the problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

My computer

Windows 10

Intel XEON W-2123

64 GB RAM

NVIDIA Quadro P2000 GDDR5 5GB

C3D 2023

Best regards!

Not sure if it's the culprit, but I've had to turn off STATUSBARAUTOWRAP on recent releases to avoid flicker.

For some reason the Profile View ribbon doesn't honor the ribbon height set in RIBBONDOCKEDHEIGHT. On my computer if I set the RIBBONDOCKEDHEIGHT to 120 or greater then this no longer occurs.

Thanks for your answer. I tried that before, but it didn't work. I had a difficult time trying to upload the screencast. It never uploaded; I don't know why.
Kind regards!

Thank you very much @user181. This solved my problem. But anyway, I consider that Autodesk should work on that issue.

Best regards!

@ecfernandez I agree it's some sort of bug they need to fix.

This is an easy fix without making the ribbon bigger. Use CUI to edit the Context Profile Launch Pad 1 panel. Expand the Row 4, you can add a Row 3 below the main Row 2 (see arrow in image) if you want it below the "Add Crossings to Profile View" or don't add that Row and it will be located next to that. Drag the "Draw Turnouts in Profile View" to either below the Row 2 or new Row 3. Then Delete the Row 4, Apply and OK.
