Performance

The speed of interactive selection and dragging operations is dependent on both the specification of the hardware being used, and on the complexity of the model displayed in the 3D View. Generally, it is advisable to minimize the size and complexity of the displayed model in order to obtain good interactive feedback from the system.

Performance tips when using Model Editor:

• Display only those elements that are necessary for the modification that you are performing. As you drag a graphical selection on the screen, the display is continuously redrawn.

• Avoid using large graphical selections. It may be better to make bulk moves in small groups.

• Avoid drawing the model with high levels of detail. For example, do not display the model with holes drawn; do not use a fine arc tolerance.

• Avoid drawing the model with P-points switched on.
