Are SEO and BM equally demanding computerwise?

I know an overly SEO'ed model bogs down...does using building material strengths give the same result or is it easier for the computer to handle?

Switch to legacy mode to see if that speeds things up?

From what I remember from long ago: using SEO carelessly, for example selecting all walls and trimming them with all roofs, regardless of the fact if they interact or not, does indeed bog down the project. But once our office clued in on this, many years ago, we are dutifully using SEO only on elements that interact.

Typically not that many SEOs are needed now. Mostly with gabled roof connections to walls and the more traditional (dutch) clock gables and the like we are modelling.

Something you need to know is that the Priority Based Connections are internally made by ARCHICAD by performing SEOs. So they could have similar effects, I assume.

Sounds logical. I'll see what my computer says when we're a bit further into the project .
