I’m importing some .obj files that are meshes but while working with it is so hard to even rotate or use pan while in rendered mode. I cant use shaded or wireframe cause I need to see the texture while working. Does anyone have the same problem?
How big (# of triangles) is the file and what is the texture resolution?

Hi Tolga -

Hi Tolga -
The graphics level being used shouldn’t be OpenGL 1.1 but OpenGL 4.6.
I’d do a “clean install” of the latest drivers for the GTX 1650 and then go through the following post to make sure things are configured as they should:

the thing is I’ve manually changed the opengl level I was already having this problem when it was at the maximum level. I’ve done the thing that you said. but the problem still continues. do you have other suggestions?
Hi Tolga -
Please post the .3dm file here or upload it from Rhino Accounts.
-wim
the file is more than 3gb so i uploaded to the google drive link:
Sorry, but you will have to decimate that for better performance.
Here’s a low cost tool that works as well as some of the very costly ones.
Balancer nPro
ok I’ll also try that. if I build a better desktop setup with better processer like i9 would it change the way it works or the model is too much to handle with these .obj files
OpenGL 1.1 means that your GPU is not being used at all. Many features of Rhino will not work at all at this level and is only meant to be used as a last resort.
Why did you set this level?
one of my friend has suggested it. after I’ve set it back to max.
Your model is composed of 53 meshes with a total of over 40 million vertices. Using a higher OpenGL level setting will definitely help here as you’ll want to push as much computing power on to your GPU as possible.
