How to estimate a model complexity.

Hi, I'm trying to render a model, not so complex I think, compare to other I already done.

This one is a 16,5 Mb building.

There are now 2h45 spending to write geometry in LE29 and it only realized 65% !?!

It's a new model I never rendered so I wonder if it's particular to LE29 or if my model is exceptionally complex. In that case, I really don't figure out why.

So Is there any thing to do or a tool/plugin to use to estimate the complexity of my model, maybe in its structure...

I already applied cleanUp3 on it and I also reduced texture size so, I think to face a particular problem.

Any idea?

Alain

Just to precise that it actually loads the CPU at about 13% so what is waiting for during 86 % ????

I tried to switch off almost all layers to ry to see something but no.

Do the geometry writing process takes care about inactive layers?

Maybe no if the problem concerns the structure of the model?

Send a copy of the model to support.renderplus.com and we will take a look at it.

The extract should ignore layesrs which are turned off.

If it is still after turning off the layers, you might delete them and purge unused things - mainly so that we will have a smaller model to take a look at.

Ok Al,

I make some tests and try to simplify the model. It's strange that counting entities is fast and writing entities is very very long.

Is it possible that a texture, maybe used several times can could cause the problem?

I found 2 components which cause the problem a bed and a table.

I think that the bed strangely takes time but the problem mainly comes from the table and chairs.

I already rendered these components with previous versions without problem but I don't know if the problem came with the last version or if something strange happened in the component.

In fact the chair has not been imported in this sketchup model, I modified the whole sketchup model where the table already was.

I send you the model to the support email

Regards,

Alain
