https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/Quantity-of-Reserved-Elements-affects-file-performance/m-p/701254#M7655 <P>I had an interesting report yesterday. A designer noticed that when he had all curtain walls reserved, inputting data directly into the schedule was really slow; he'd select a field, wait 10-20 seconds, input the value into the field, wait 10-20 seconds, select the next schedule cell, wait...<BR />...<BR />he noticed after doing a release all, and only reserving 2-3 curtain walls at a time, he was able to input data more effectively.</P> <P>...</P> <P>I've done a LOT of threshold tests, but have never noticed even reserving all affecting my file performance. Anyone else have similar experiences, or know if there may be a threshold for file performance and volume of reserved elements?<BR />(for what its worth, this is a 500,000 sq ft office park, modeled to an average LOD of 300, so it's a chunky file, and we expect it to be slow in general)</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><FONT face="courier new,courier" color="grey">Operating system used: <EM>Mac Apple Silicon </EM></FONT></P> Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:07:21 GMT Patrick M 2026-04-30T15:07:21Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Teamwork-BIMcloud/Quantity-of-Reserved-Elements-affects-file-performance/m-p/701254#M7655 <P>I had an interesting report yesterday.
