More helpful information would be:
- system specs, especially RAM, video card, video RAM
- visual style
- size of model file
- number of active DWG files, loaded XREFs
- any extra programs running e.g. streaming soccer game
- anything else out of the ordinary
- database type (SQL Server?)
- local or network stored project
- WAN, remote desktop, or other non-standard connections
For what its worth, orbit has always been pretty dodgy - the core AutoCAD that Plant3D is designed around isn't designed specifically for rendered 3D viewing like some of the more advanced design programs like Inventor so expectations should be managed appropriately. For orbit to be reliable in anything other than a basic wireframe requires a substantial video card and modest model content. Otherwise, Navisworks to the rescue.

System specs look OK, maybe a bit of overkill. Try using 3d (or even 2d) wireframe visual style. I take it one of those "no" answers as you are NOT running SQL Server? Thats something of a requirement for anything beyond a simple test model.

If you are running a suite license, run a session of Navisworks Simulate alongside the Plant3D program or try the NWNavigator plug-in. The full version gives you better control over whats loaded (selection tree, etc.) while the plug-in offers semi-live navigation via switchback.

Its a mini-Navisworks palette window inside AutoCAD (still draws a Navisworks license unless you are running a suite). Its been around since the old JetStream days. Kind of cool system, when you update the Navigator window it generates a temp NWC from your current AutoCAD file and viewpoint, then loads it. It also allows basic navigation inside the window and has a "switchback" function to set the AutoCAD viewpoint to the same place. The earlier versions were prone to crashing and since Simulate has a bunch more useful features (like the Search Tree) the Navigator never really caught on here.
