Too many Sections?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi.

I think I find that if I have too many (Maybe 10 or more) section markers in my model it seems to slow it down.

I have my con doc sections and markers but then I usually also have a bunch of extra markers that i just mve all over the plan that I call Working Sections.

It seems to me that when I get to omany of them the regen time becomes longer.
Has anyone else noticed this or am I just crazy?

Thanks.

A large number of Markers (specifically, the Viewpoints that they create) will slow down regen -- but 10 is not a large number -- the Big Building Whitepaper says the number of S/E and Detail Viewpoints should not exceed 200 (although we've had projects with well over 200).

Well, I am almost embarrased by my "large number of sections"

=)

Thanks, it must be something else then.

we have some with 200 sections, 200 elevations, 300 details..... the files sizes get big, but the file performance is not bad.

I've created many templates with a similar amount of S/E's and not seen any performance issues.
