Slow Viewport Update

[csousawy]

I am having problems with very slow updates to my viewports since I upgraded to VW 2014 and SP 2 seemed to make it worse. I'm talking upwards of 20 mins for one viewport.

Granted this is a large complex file with lots of small parts, but I tried the same file in 2013 and had normal update times, 2-5 mins.

Anyone else having these issues.

Thanks

Regular top/plan or wireframe viewports are doing this? Or you see the slowdown in a particular rendering mode?

I am rendering the viewports in Dashed Hidden line and Hidden line. It typically a plan, front, side view, and Right Iso per sheet. I was using a custom renderworks setting for the iso view, but that was taking even longer.

It takes about 20mins per viewport, if I try and update multiple viewports it crashes.

I am installing VW 2014 SP 1 on another identical computer to see if it has similar issues.

As I said before, when I save it back to VW 2013, it acts normally.

Send in a 2014 file where that is happening, along with the following:

to tech@vectorworks.net and an explanation of the issue and we can have a look.

Hidden Line is marginally better than dashed hidden line, which is marginally better than the custom rendering I like to do.

It is a problem I am having with one project, unfortunately because of nature of the project I can't send it in. I will see if I can recreate it in another file.

I think it was an issue with my Video Card. Switched cards and seems to be much better.
