Freeze Preview and Stop Counting in Autodesk Subassembly Composer for Civil 3D

Freeze Preview and Stop Counting in Autodesk Subassembly Composer for Civil 3D

Good day!

It may be worthwhile to consider implementing functionality aimed at accelerating SAC performance during the development of complex assemblies. In particular, the following options could be useful:
1. Disabling the graphical preview.
The ability to temporarily stop the automatic update of the preview - "Stop Preview". This would allow working with complex designs without unnecessary performance overhead, especially with a large number of branches and conditions.
2. Disabling the preliminary recalculation of assembly logic.
The "Stop Calculation" or "Stop Counting" function could temporarily disable the automatic recalculation of subassembly behaviour with each change.

At the same time, it is important to retain the ability to select points, lines, and objects within assemblies so that the user can continue editing the assembly without causing a complete rework of the model.
Such a ‘recalculation pause’ mechanism could significantly increase the speed of work when creating and debugging complex subassemblies, especially in scenarios with multiple target surfaces, geological layers, and multiple conditional transitions.
The best option would be to freeze the view - Freeze Preview. So that the build would be visible in Preview.
When working with complex builds, managing component visualisation during the build process is crucial for both clarity and efficiency. One effective approach is to freeze the preview, allowing users to see the current state of the assembly without unintended updates or distractions.
What does “freezing the preview” mean?
Freezing the preview means temporarily locking the visual representation of the build at a specific point in time. This means that even when changes are made or new components are added, the preview remains static until you decide to update it.
