Long Save Time, Unexpected messages in Notes window

A relatively small file has developed long save times. Maybe that’s related to this info which has appeared in my notes window.

Hi @djhg,

I don’t think VisualARQ is related to those messages.

Has the problem occurred in only one file, or in multiple files.

Difficult to say. I often have save times of ten seconds or more. I usually attribute this to large projects and especially to imported objects from other applications which clog the block and materials managers. This could be exacerbated without me realizing it. In the case of the project from which this complaint arises, the save time appeared to be longer than expected.

Hi Djhg,

Are you getting long save times if opening up in safe mode (sans 3rd party plugins?)

Japhy’s suggestion to disable the plug-ins that do not ship with Rhino would be my first step.
If that makes the problem go away, enable systematically, test, and see if you can identify it.
If that does not make the problem go away, then it rules them out as the cause.

The content of that Notes window looks like the result of opening a SolidWorks part or assembly file - is that what you did to make this model?

In film set design, objects are often imported from other sources into a model, so there may well be objects originating from solid works. Maybe that’s what’s showing up in the notes panel. Most of the time I think my long save times are the result of complicated models of interior spaces imported from other applications. (Colleagues often use Revit or Vectorworks - but Sketchup is the worst.) The sheer size and/or complexity of many of my set design projects is a factor also. In the case which generated this post, the project was simple so the long save times stood out as anomalous, but that project’s long save times eere temporary, so let’s let this stand as a one-off concern. (And it doesn’t matter if it’s an issue with the VisualArq plugin, which I’ll continue to rely on for now.)
