POSSIBLE WAYS TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM
hey gang,
try these:
Turning off consolidate world in the VP2.0 options.
MAYA_VP2_LOCALE_GRID_SIZE=5000 (which is the value that previous Maya versions used, we changed the default of 5000 down to 500 but scene scale will affect this, such as scaling up the objects by a factor of 10X).
You could also try the envVar (which will work regardless of the scale of the scene) (not sure if it works with 2016_r2:
MAYA_ENABLE_MULTI_DRAW_CONSOLIDATION=0
On Windows
To set an envVar on Windows, go to your Maya prefs dir C:\yourUsername\Documents\maya\2017\
in here there should be a Maya.env file, open it in notepad++ (or other text editor) and add the one (or both) of the variables above like:
MAYA_VP2_LOCALE_GRID_SIZE=5000
MAYA_ENABLE_MULTI_DRAW_CONSOLIDATION=0
and save the .env file
naturally, if you want to remove it, you delete these lines from the .env file
On Mac or Linux
Open a terminal and before typing in the path to Maya's executable to start the program type:
export MAYA_VP2_LOCALE_GRID_SIZE=5000, export MAYA_ENABLE_MULTI_DRAW_CONSOLIDATION=0;
to unset the envVar just kill the terminal and relaunch Maya in a new terminal, or you could use the unset command
unset MAYA_VP2_LOCALE_GRID_SIZE etc...
refer to the Users Manual if my description on setting envVars is not clear.
cheers!
