Rhino 7 freezes/loads after selection (much longer than Rhino 6)

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hello there! :slight_smile:
I thought this might be a known issue and hoped to be fixed, but as it seams I still got this problem so far:

After selecting something - either a simple polyline or a complex shape/srf, doesn’t matter what - most of the time R7 stands still for qite some time. (Of course, the more complex the longer - but you get the idea.)
It feels like “Autosaves” everytime I do a selection. Rhino 7 becomes unuseable in that time frame.

Rhino 6 does a better job here - I don’t know why.
Just as a quick example - selecting this town model, all grouped surfaces (I just had it open):

Rhino 6: 2 seconds
Rhino 7: 110 seconds

I hope there is a fix!
Thank you in advance,
stay healthy,

Hello - please disable VRay in Options > PlugIns page, then close and reopen Rhino - is that nay better?

-Pascal

3

Thank you for quick reply!

No. :confused:
Vray turned off - still same time passed: 110s

4

In Options>Advanced, if you uncheck the following setting does it help?

5

No, didn’t help either.
Still exactly 110s.

6

Wait - - does it actually Autosave all the time? What are the Autosave settings?

-Pascal

7

No, sorry, I may have not explained myself clear enough - sorry!
It only feels like an Autosave - I don’t think Rhino does actually make Autosaves.

I just know it from other software (like 3ds max) - you are about to do something - freeze - “Autosave in progress”.

Sorry, this is on me!
Rhino just loads all the time for some reason - no Autosave - just checked the Autosave folder.

Hello - can you try one more thing - do a SaveAs, to a different name and make sure ‘Save plugin data’ is not checked - does the resulting file behave any better? As you can tell, I still kinda smell Vray here…

-Pascal

9

No, not better.

I will try to uninstall VRay after and keep you up to date in a minute or so.

10

OK, it is probably not Vray or a plug-in then. I don’t think there is any need to uninstall, yet, anyway. We’ve seen plug-ins affect things in unexpected ways, so I always try to eliminate that influence first and take it from there.
Does any large file behave this way? @rfollett is experiencing what I think is very likely the same problem but I cannot pin down the cause. Can you send us a file, to tech@mcneel.com ? I have not been able to reproduce this so far with the example file we have, but I can try again, and maybe can find something that is common to both.

-Pascal

11

Ok, no VRay installed - still 110 seconds.

12

Sent.
Thank you very much!

13

Weird.
For me, in V6 it takes about 1/2 second to select the grouped buildings.
In V7 its quicker yet.

Our systems are very similar too.

Desktop with 16 GB RAM.

I’m running an Nvidia Quadro P2000 driving two 27" monitors connected directly to the Quadro GPU ports.

I’ll check with Pascal.

Hello - is selection slow if the Properties panel is closed?

-Pascal

Hello!
It is the “Box Edit” Panel that is open, causing the delay.
"Transform objects individually" was checked in R7, unchecked in R6.

Thank you!!!

Feeling bad now for my mistake! I am sorry.
Thank you very much for your work!
You are great!

Ahh, interesting - let me check with the other user reporting the problem - thanks for the update.
@rfollett - is BoxEdit open in your case?

-Pascal

17

i dont have the boxedit panel open…

I ran the command Boxedit and checked that flag was off… it was off, i closed the panel…

18

is our file available for download so I can test ? thanks

19

Sure.
https://we.tl/t-7M3P5YCLIY

But I don’t think this file in particular will show your problem - since mine was only Rhino calculating all measurements of all 7000 objects in two minutes or so when the BoxEdit Panel was open (Transofrm objects individually checked) - so independent from the document itself.

But let us know!

Greetings, blind apple

thank you… Tested and yes you are right, no issue…
