fostertom Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just to try out point clouds, downloaded latest Acad incl Recap, imported a 5MB architectural .rcp file. Computer freezes - the pc model displays but the loading wheel keeps spinning, no commands, not even mouse works within the Acad window. Other programs running continue fine. Is it my lowly computer - i3 2120 2-core, 4MB RAM, Quadro FX580? RAM too small? I doubt that because the same file in .pod format spins flawlessly in 2009-era 32bit Pointools, but imported to Bentley AECOsim (incl Microstation) loads but rotates only in 1-sec jerks. Strange, as Pointools is the point tools engine within AECOsim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Personally, I think it could be a combination of low ram (4GB) and the fact your graphics card is entry level at best and it only comes with 512MB of video memory. Did you try shutting down all non-essential programs that are running in the background? Have you turned off all your OS bells and whistles? What else have you done to maximize available resources?

boxel0 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Maybe try downgrading the point cloud within Recap, I find exporting the files from recap as .rcs files better. As the .rcp files are exported with scan locations and images Also make sure your 3D snap is off, as your machine might be trying to snap onto every point when its opening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
