Load time of rear elevation

[Steve_Nyhof]

Anyone know of a way to find out why this rear elevation takes so long to load? I've had hatch patterns that take some time, but this is a normal hatch pattern. It is a larger home but there is nothing special going on with the rear elevation. As far as a know things were fine several weeks ago, but now that I open it again it is taking a long time to generate.

Thank you,

Correction update: All elevations

I shut my furniture off and my roof. I am trying to add manual grills to my arched window and every click I make takes forever.

I will add that I thought I needed a polyline to make my manual grills, but I need lines only. However, that does not change the generation issue

Try deleting the pattern from the slab material around the pool.

I'd also suggest using a simpler pattern for the roof shingles.

Speed of exterior elvations can be increased more by using opaque glass and turning off the layers for all interior items (electrical, cabinets, fixtures, etc).

For exterior electrical, just create a copy of the layer to use fore exterior items.

Thank you! I will look into this. My issue is more that I have used these patterns and details, with my interior in place, etc. and do not have this issue with other plans. I will try to find the issue and update the post.

Taking me about 18 seconds to load any of the four.

hmmm. That is still a bit of a long time to load an elevation although less than what I am getting. I made  copy of the file and plan to slowly remove things to try and find the issue. 

I would say that from 2000 to over 6000 sq.ft. homes load my elevations in like 5 seconds, maybe 10 at most. Something is in this file I need to find.

[GeneDavis]

Have you looked at the layerset for the camera view and turned off all fixtures, cabinets, and furniture?

 

Done a stripped file version and compared file sizes stripped to loaded?

Just out of curiosity, I merged all the materials together so there is only 1 material.  I wanted to see if their was still a lag with the 3D model in your elevation views.  That did speed up the load time of the elevation views.  I am guessing if you have some method of condensing and cleaning up the materials so their is not so many that may help speed up the load times.  I wasn't able to pin point any specific textures causing the slow down.

On my machine, the slab material pattern was the culprit. Once that pattern was removed, speed was normal. All other adjustments I mentioned made additional improvements in speed.

Good catch! You know for some reason my plan was missing the pattern on some of the concrete. I updated it with a concrete pattern but that did not fix the loading. Can you let me know what you found specifically?

Once I deleted the material pattern for the slab material around the pool, all elevation cameras opened in a normal amount of time.

Wow! That was it! I've used this stone material many times before. It's right out of Chief. I deleted the pattern and it all works great! Thank you so much for diving in to this for me.

Its funny. It is a paver material and yet you cannot see the pattern as a paver from the plan view. (You would add a hatch pattern to see a pattern in plan view). When I put the material on a wall the elevation still loads fast. It mush be that in elevation when used as a paver (flat) all those pattern lines are stacked on top of each other horizontally, guessing. Since I will never use a paver on a wall, I think I will remove the patterns from my common pavers as I have never used the patterns anyway. My guess is that I have used it in the past but maybe smaller areas and the elevation loaded more slowly but must have been tolerable.
