Performance Evaluation - Settings Performance

Settings Performance indicates if the Verification on rebuild option is enabled and if Large Assembly Mode is enabled.

   
Verification on Rebuild Reports if the Verification on rebuild option is on.
The Verification on rebuild option performs a thorough evaluation of the model during rebuild that can slow rebuild performance.
  • When this option is off, the software checks every new or changed feature against any adjacent faces and edges. For most situations, this default level of error checking is adequate, and results in faster rebuilding of the model.
  • When this option is on, the software checks every new or changed feature against all existing faces and edges, not just adjacent ones. This checking has a negative effect on performance. Rebuilding the model is considerably slower and more CPU-intensive.

See Checking Model Geometry for more information about the Verification on rebuild option.

To turn off Verification on rebuild:

Click Options or Tools > Options

On the System Options tab, select Performance. Clear Verification on rebuild.
Large Assembly Mode Reports the number of resolved components, the large assembly threshold, and whether or not Large Assembly Mode is on.
Large Assembly Mode Large Assembly Mode is a collection of system settings that improves the performance of assemblies. You can turn on Large Assembly Mode at any time, or you can set a threshold for the number of components, and have Large Assembly Mode turn on automatically when that threshold is reached. Large Assembly Mode usually includes using lightweight components.
Lightweight components Lightweight components have only a subset of their model data loaded into memory. The remaining model data is loaded on an as-needed basis. Assemblies with lightweight components rebuild faster because less data is evaluated. You can manually set single components, subassemblies, or entire assemblies to lightweight mode; or automatically load components lightweight as part of Large Assembly Mode.

To turn on Large Assembly Mode, click Tools > Large Assembly Mode .
