Test your slowest models on both Rhino WIP and earlier Rhino.
Let us know how they compare.
Ask questions and give feedback by replying to this post.
This is work in progress. We need your feedback.
Details:
Blocks: Polysurface, mesh, and extrusion objects inside nested blocks are cached for rapid display. Nested blocks often come from STEP, SolidWorks, and SketchUP files. Our test models have shown up to 10x performance improvement in wireframe and shaded modes.
Layouts: Details in layout views are cached as OpenGL textures. These textures are reused when panning layouts and modeling in the layout view.
Text: Text displays faster while it is being edited.
Works pretty well in wireframe or shaded mode on a large imported file from revit. I work in ghosted mode 90% of the timeā¦Any improvements upcoming for the display modeā¦?
One of the speedups I use when working with large architecture files is to open the file, set a custom render mesh, extract the rendermeshes, delete the data, join meshes based on layer structure or render material and save it as an external file.
Then reference that into Rhino.
And add a display mode that only draws mesh edges only.
That gives you fewer objects and fewer lines for the display mode to handle.
Transparency is a heavier operation in general as it requires each object to be drawn twice in orde to achieve the desired effect. I doubt we will see any large improvements in this area for V7.
When the section plane is active, the objects take longer to select.
Not 100% sure if if was specifc to SubD since I noticed to with blocks.
I also noticed in WIP7 you need to ādouble clickā to activate the checkbox for the clipped view
From Cycles, we also need UI responsiveness. If this is being been addressed anywhere, please let me know, so I can stop nagging you : )
BTW, I have a file with only 4 rectangle lights, and perhaps no textures at allāthat with a single wrong mouse click can repeatably lock up Rhino V6. Iāll send it to McNeel if it will help. It has a fair amount of objects in it.
After installation of Rhino 7 WIP and comparing a technical drawing with many detail views I found practically no faster display. In both cases the time for display was about 7 seconds.
The by far greatest influence to the display time was the consequent usage of any possibility to use blocks as well as the consequent elimination of auxiliary components like points, lines etc. By this the data were reduced from 1,3 GB for the drawing to 227MB, the display was reduced from47 seconds to 7 seconds.
