Rhino slow saving

[joe.ricketts]

Hello, I am new to rhino and have been modelling for the past week. It has started to take forever to save the file and I have no idea why. Also i noticed my PC starting to go nuts with the fans and its been using 100% of my CPU. Any ideas why??

Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe - can you please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and post the results here?

Hi Joe - can you disable VRay in Options > PLug-ins, then restart Rhino and see if the problem persists?
(You might want to look for an update from the NVidia website for your video driver, though that is not, I’d think, connected to the problem you report - it’s just getting a little old-ish and Rhino generally seems to like 'em up to date)

-Pascal

[joe.ricketts]

Hi Pascal,

I have updated my GPU driver and disabled VRay but it is still taking a long time to save.

[Helvetosaur]

How big is the file? Are you saving to a local disk or a network drive?

[joe.ricketts]

148mb on Network drive (OneDrive)

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hi Joe - and if you save the same file to the desktop? Also, what if you SaveSmall to the OneDrive?

Hi,

I’m having the same problem. Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful.

I am still finding saving to our company server is extremely slow. It is successful, but very slow. Saving locally on the PC is very fast. I have had to work on projects locally and back up manually to our server where all jobs reside. Are there many users having this issue, and if so, is a fix being worked on? This issue is the only issue with v6 that is affecting my daily workflow - very happy with many new features in v6.

[hayden]

Any solution to the slow saving in R6? I’m having the same problem. File size is 832 MB and took 3 mins 31 secs. System Info:

Hello - are you saving to a cloud-synced folder like DropBox or GoogleDrive?

-Pascal

[hayden]

Hi Pascal. Saving to HD.

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hello - what if you save to the desktop - is that the same?

-Pascal

[hayden]

1 min 29 secs . No changes made though as I just opened the file to save to the desktop. Still seems like a long time to watch an hourglass maybe?

[frge (Frank Gergaud)]

Hi,

I also have exactly the same problem. I have to save my Rhino file locally on my PC and then copy/paste the file to the server. That’s really not super efficient but i couldn’t fix the problem otherwise. Any idea?

Best,

Frank

[deurton]

We use VRay 3.6 plugin - I thought maybe it was related (looking for textures). I haven’t found a work-around. Others having same issue:

Something is still sooo broken with V6 saving files to a network

Saving a 300Mb file to the desktop takes a couple of seconds. Saving it to the network server… took over 5 minutes. And - I had 2-3 Rhino V5’s running at the time, tried to close them (without saving) while V6 was saving the other file - no can do, got an uncancellable “server busy” message, and then they were hung until after V6 finished saving. Note this message is from V5, not V6. [image] Really not good.

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hello - do you see any difference if you disable VRay and restart Rhino?

-Pascal

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Hello - yes, it seems long, and I can confirm a save of 1GB is also very long here - much longer than what you indicate, in fact. I’ll see what I can find out.

-Pascal

[hayden]

Thanks Pascal. Keep us posted.
