Hi Mark, welcome to the world of MoI ownership.

LOL I know this feeling :-)

Go to the options, view tab and increase the mesh angle. This decreases the resolution of the display to speed it up. Play with the setting to find the best compromise for your model and your system. Also display hidden lines slows things down, so turn that off if you don't need it.
You can turn the edges off as well. Paste this into a shortcut - I use CNTRL-H
script:var gd = moi.geometryDatabase; var breps = gd.getSelectedObjects().getBReps(); if ( breps.length == 0 ) breps = gd.getObjects().getBReps(); var hide = true; for ( var i = 0; i < breps.length; ++i ) { var edges = breps.item(i).getEdges(); if ( i == 0 ) hide = !edges.item(0).hidden; edges.setProperty( 'hidden', hide ); }
It will turn edges on and off for selected objects or all objects if nothing is selected. This also speeds things up.
Another thing I do is have another instance of MoI open. Copy the parts you're working on into the second MoI and copy back to the main file when done. I regularly have 3 or 4 MoIs open at once.>>I noticed that grouping of objects seems to be available in V2. If I use the object grouping, will that allow me to

Grouping isn't available in V2 yet (unless I've missed a beta). But at the moment files created in V2 seem to be backward compatible with no problem.
