Scene taking hours to open

Scene taking hours to open

Anonymous
Not applicable

When I open my scene, maya opens and the loading bar gets stuck on either "60% - calculating" or it gets stuck on "60% - outputting boolean result".  
I don't think my scene is corrupt, as the program doesn't freeze, and the scene does eventually open, however it's just taking hours to do so, and the scene isn't complex at all.
Does anybody know what the issue is / how do I go about resolving it?

 

Side note: The scene includes imported objects from other scenes.  These scenes open fine individually within seconds.


Thank you for your help 🙂

"- outputting boolean result".  "

is that what I think it is? You have an object with a boolean node in its construction history?

Now I havent used a boolean in years now but back in the days it used to be the most unstable and dangerous thing you could do to a polygon. Try deleting all of your construction history on models.. especially stuff like booleans.

 

Can you also provide more info on the scene? How much disk space does it consume? Is it .ma or .mb ?

How many objects are in the scene? Does it have some sort of rig in it? With skinClusters? Whats the rough polygon count of all objects in sum?

Be Happy 🙂

I have run into the same problem except that It wont open at all. Is there a way to erase the history of objects in the file without opening the file. I have waited about half a day for it to open and it still hasn't opened.
