I have a Rhino file that is 66MB. On a lark I tried setting the view to technical. 5 Hours of CPU time 100 CPU and nothing display. Is this something I should expect from a file this size or is it a symptom of a problem?
You haven’t supplied enough information to hazard a guess.
Please run About Rhinoceros, copy the information to the Clipboard and post it back here.
Also, Zip up the file and send it to us using the File UPload tool on the Support page.
Please include this URL in the description:
“Technical View Taking A long Time”
With the file and those details we should be able to figure out the problem.

Hello @bigjimslade, I’ve had this problem for years now, and haven’t figured it out. I thought slow was normal until I saw the 1.5 second Technical view times on the Holomark thread and noticed that mine takes 2min at 100% cpu to do the same thing. I’ve tried switiching off Hyperthreading, uninstalling all plugins etc. but still technical view is unusable for me. I’ve posted the problem on forums often but nobody has had any advice which worked sofar. My system is i7-(3770) with Quadro6000, 16gb ram, Vray and T-Splines installed(But removing them made no difference to Technical View Times), Rh5-64bit.
Your system seems very different. Only common factor is we’re both running Rh5-64bit.
It would be great if someone has had this problem too and found a solution.? - Michael VS
I’m still working on putting together a minimal example.
I think I got one uploaded.
I had one case where I accidentally dragged part of the drawing (where I would immediately do <CMD/Z> and it took several minutes to update.
I also uploaded a couple of videos showing a related file as the display mode changes. One video has the object in a block. The other has the block exploded.
In all cases it takes several minutes for the model to be displayed in a drawing model (pen, artistic, technical) the first time. After that the switch occurs fast.
