While designing/Modifying road it is taking too long time to update.

[narayanar]

Whie designing roads & bridges or when I am going to modify the deign road it is taking long time to update even though I am using "ZBOOK 15" workstation with 32GB Ram, i7 , 2GB NVDIA, etc....If anyone knows please let me know the reason or Solution for it.

Hi Narayanar,

the program perormance is dependent on model size and detail settings of course.
You can try to adjust the application options and/or visula effects to accelerate the recreation of the model after editing it.

hi there,

i would be interested if the perfomance issue you have/had is only related to updating after editing or if you have any problems fluently navigating throuhg the model, selcting, zoom in & zoom out etc.

If this is the case i would realy like to know what your model contains, how big it is and which settings are set.

During the editing, IW constantly update a whole model (example: profile editing). Better solution will be a profile editing (tangents, vertical curves); then, when is design complete, pick on "Finish" button (or something similar); only then IW should update the model.

The problem is bigger if the model is bigger, OK. But the some conceptual design for the new roads and especially highways could be a very long, (10-50 km, for example). Result: model must be a very large. So we need reasonbly system respond in the models minimum 10 km long, which contains some bridges end intersections.

I agree. Editing roads is painfully slow at best as every edit requires a rebuild. Perhaps a "road edit" mode would be helpful? Go into Road Edit Mode and you see a 2D representation of the alignment and profile so editing is quick. Leave Road Edit Mode and the model updates.

I agree too.

My 12 mile long conceptual roadway takes a VERY long time to edit because each of the edits are one--at--a--time.

I'm talking 60 seconds with each entry.

We really need a better solution.

Perhaps multiple edits and then an update button. Hmm...where have I seen that before?

Hi Narayanar - would you be able to share your model with me?  I'd like to poke around and see if I can find anything.  You can reach me by email if you like.

Thanks!
