I’m working on a file (~260mb) which every time it opens I have to wait about 30 minutes for it to become usable. The first 30 minutes, commands have a huge delay (5-10 seconds) if they even work at all. Even zooming in and out or panning has the delay. Somewhere around 30 minutes after opening this delay is gone and the file becomes more or less fine to work with. Additionally, when this file is open my computer will completely freeze 1-2 times per day. This happens more often during that first 30 minutes after opening. I’m using the file to to render with VRay. I have a lot of materials but I have tried to keep the file size down by using proxies.
I realize that this issue could likely be solved by increasing the performance specs of my computer but I am really trying to figure our what specifically is causing this and what I can do in the interim to make things run smoother.
A little about my computer:
CPU - Intel ® Core™ i7-7700 CPU @3.60 GHz (8 CPUs)
RAM - 32GB
GPU - AMD Radeon R7 450
256GB SSD (15-20GB of space left)
Hi
Please display your ‘Notifications’ panel from the Panels drop down menu in Rhino to see if there’s a notification there about a possible newer driver for your graphics card. Double click it to see the details and a link to the GPU manufacturers driver download site to check.
If that doesn’t help, choose “System Information” from the Help drop down menu in Rhino 6 and return the text it reports back in a reply.
You might also try temporarily disabling V-Ray in Options >Plugins and see if the symptoms disappear… there have been lots of reports of “slowdowns” with V-Ray…
Indeed, I need to download an update for my driver. I tried but I got an error message saying “Install package failure.” I’ve reached out to my IT department for assistance on this. In the meantime, here is my system information.

@Helvetosaur was correct. Disabling V-Ray made it open smoothly. Will bring this to the Chaos Group forums. Frustrating how many bugs seem to be traced back to V-Ray.
