[Equest-users] How to let eQuest running faster or more responsive?

[Busman, Michael R]

Roger,

This may sound like a simple/dumb question, but are you defining every floor in the building or defining a "typical" floor and using the floor  multiplier?

This could make a huge difference in the size of your model.

My best,

Mike Busman

Subject: [Equest-users] How to let eQuest running faster or more responsive?

Hi All: I'm doing some high-rise buildings in detail mode. And I found that eQuest becomes kinda sluggish or not that responsive. Sometimes, the BDL file can have more than 500,000 lines thus it takes more than 30min to load. If I change a parameter, it also takes quite a while to update. My computer is i7-2600k with 16GB in Windows 7 64bit. The CPU loading is just around 25% - 30%. Does anyone know how to make it faster or more responsive? Thanks.

Roger
