Hi, I’ve been working with a file that’s pretty big (270MB), and every time I save, Rhino 6 greys out and has the (Not Responding) parenthetical. It eventually does save, but at least a minute or two later. I tried purging the file, disabling the VRay plug in, “saving small” and saving without Plugin data and none of those have done anything!
I don’t think the file has any really large meshes or anything either. I tried deleting the layers that I thought might be problematic–they weren’t the issue. I’m not having the issue with other files in rhino.
Not sure if this will help but you can try copying the model to a plain new 3dm file, and see if the saving time is shorter in the new file. If yes then that means its the plugins making it slow. If not then that means your model might be too big with too many detailed parts which you might need to use blocks or just simplify some of the geometries. Try not to include any mesh when copying to the new file, they are usually the problem maker. xp
@Kid: Looks like it’s some meshes that I have. I pasted into a new document with and without them and the file goes from 180 MB and not responding to 100 MB and it responding.
@pascal: I think more that it doesn’t start saving for a couple of minutes. I get the little blue loading wheel for a bit and then it saves. System info below:

@k11 Are your meshes from sketch up warehouse? Try to not use meshes from unknown provider because it might not be modeled in a decent way which causes all these problems. If you really need to use that specific mesh reference then you might need to clean it up in a new file first (Check for any bad meshes, and try fixing the meshes with the mesh tool palette), If its a simple object then you might as well convert it to poly surface and clean it up (remodel or rebuild some surfaces). Link it back to the host file after all this and Rhino should work smoothly (Embed usually increases the file size so if the mesh is just for reference then link would be a better choice).
