SYMBOLS


Recommended Posts

Posted January 4, 2000 · Report post

I have approximately 500 theater seats that I created in a drawing. They have been saved and inserted as symbols. The 500 seats are comprised of only three different symbols (seat with left arm, seat with right arm and seat with both arms).

However, it seems that the sheer number of symbols is greatly, I mean HUGELY, slowing down the rendering process - whether Raymaker or as bitmap.

My question is - will a large quantity of symbols slow down the rendering process, even if the large quantity is comprised of only three different symbols.

Is there a method of insertion that will speed up the process.

I have to have this quantity of seats in the plan.

Thanks

That usually means there is some geometry in the symbol that is slowing VW down, and in my experience the theatre seats often have this problem.

 

It's often the curves on the feet of the arm stanchions or the fillets in the cushions.

 

Are you using the VW symbols or symbols you made yourself?
