layout question when animating

[AndrewE]

It's because of your bouding box threshold.

Press "d" in layout. And next to Bound Box Threshold there is a stock number of, "5555", change that number, add a couple of 5's, this will slow down your computer a little bit. But should do exactly what you want.

And just so you know -
let's say your object has 10,000 points or polygons. If the bounding box value is set to 9999, your object will draw - Anything below 10,000 will remain solid when you scrub the timeline. Any object more than 10,000 points or polys will jump to a bounding box when scrubbing. I usually set mine to about 45000. A lot of this value depends on your system and video card. My systems have 64MB GeForce cards.
