Options editor - On Load - Optimise on load

[Anonymous]

Hi all

Does anybody know what the "Optimise On Load" option does?

I can't find anything about it in Help.

Thanks

Good notice. This is a new feature in 2018 Options editor which is not yet listed in the help documentation!

From Navisworks 2017 Update 1

...this is new for Navisworks 2017 Update 1.  Linked to this issue, we have also added the ‘optimise on load’ option to the Model - > Performance section in global options. It is disabled by default, but when enabled, will perform certain optimisations on load :

• Delete duplicate redlines. All duplicate redlines from existing saved viewpoints will be deleted.
• Optimise saved viewpoint overrides – Some old files could have saved viewpoint overrides with the same appearance stored multiple times. This optimisation removes that redundancy.
• Delete duplicate material attributes – Some files loaded from IFC could have nodes with many 10s or 100s or material attributes on them. This optimisation removes all the extra material attributes from nodes.
• These optimisations should help fix up existing NWD/NWF files that customers have.
