LDD is slow

[GuillaumeFloriade]

Hello

I'm new with this software i need to build a building with a diffrent 'normal' scale then LEGO.

At the moment i have a big building with some detail.

But it is getting slower and slower to do things.

Is this because of the size of the file?

I have a reasonably strong computer, beacuse i render normal architecture models.

Can somebody help? if there is a trick or something?

Give more memory to the program ?

Please help because i am not done with the building!

The pictures are from two days ago. so I have put some more bricks in the model. (via Dropbox becasue of the small size limitations)

How many pieces you have? I suggest you to lower all gaphical settinsg to minimum and split the file into several small ones in order to keep the program stable. You dont want a large corrupted file, trust me.

Performance is directly related to the number of bricks visible on-screen. Group your model, then hide sections except the one(s) on which you're working.

I import the model in e new file. At the moment it is working better and faster again. As fast as normal.

I have at the moment 15359 bricks

You are getting close to where LDD starts to get unstable, around 20k is the upper limit as far as I know

If i want to save the file it keeps crashing!

HELP ME!

Guess you overdid it... Did you split the model into smaller ones as suggested?

So what do i need to do then?

Because i need to make a building of this size..

for a building competition

Like I said split the model in smaller modules/files.

I will try it in the hope evrything fits together later.

Also all those transparent parts might be a big factor. This because In general transparent things are more 'expensive' to render. It shouldn't influence the filesave though.
