Ian Smith Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Hi Group. I'm trying to draw a small building which will eventually be used to create an animation. The building is 3m diameter and very small, but when i use the cylinder or curved wall tool the size of the drawing jumps from 500kb to over 15mb and runs very slow. This happens even when i add just one small curved wall? Tired and frustrated (and working another weekend in York) Help or advice appreciated.

bcd Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hi Ian, Sorry for your frustration. There shouldn't be a difficulty with a 15mb file. That's on the small side in VW. Perhaps there is an object causing you an issue. Do you have a stairs in there that you can hide temporarily? Did you start with a clean drawing? Can you turn off a bunch of classes or a layer you don't need right now while focusing on what you do? Quote Link to comment
