248 points and already slowing down my PC?

#1

Hi,

I’m working on car model with just the fender visible and the info says there is 248 points. As I’ve adding detail I have noticed significant fall in performance, for instance a simple split edge gives me the hour glass for something like 30s now!

Is this normal with (just) 248 points? I admit, I need a faster computer (current 1.99Ghz with 2 gigs of ram), but with simpler models this has been working fine.

Select your meshes, and click the “FreezeM” button on the bottom right hand corner of your interface.

Yeah, so much for that excuse to buy a new computer :smiley:

Thanks for reminding that, I’ve got to make freezing a habit - I keep forgetting it.

You can work in Immediate mode when you don’t want to maintain a modeling history. I usually work in IMMED during much of the modeling phase.
