Hi Ola, so does setting the display mesh density to be coarser make it workable for you?

I'd suggest setting (under Options > View > Meshing parameters) Mesh angle to 25 degrees and unchecking "Add detail to inflections".

Then along with that hiding all edges also can be a big boost to screen redraw time.

If that speeds things up enough to be usable then you may not need to get a new video card, although when dealing with very heavy models you generally want to have as up to date hardware as you can.

Oh yes, it does a MAJOR difference in performance!

The Add Detail to Infections was always the killer for me - I always make sure that's turned off.

Hi Will,

Also there was a bug in v1 where "Add detail to inflections" would mistakenly get really carried away and could over mesh things by a whole bunch.

That's fixed in v2 so it is not quite as bad, but it can still be a good idea to turn it off if you have a whole lot of stuff.

Interesting, I'll give it another try Michael - thanks for the info.
