AC 12: Explore Model very clunky...

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello,

I frequently use the "Explore Model" option to fly around the building and see if everything is working smoothly. Since upgrading to 12, whenever I use the Explore Model, it does nothing the first time. I select the "little man" icon, and usually I can navigate right away. Now, it temporarily freezes the screen. I have to push escape and do it again, sometimes 3 times before I can actually explore.

Is this a bug that needs to be fixed or is there a way around this?

Anyone else have this happen??

It has been working better as I go along, but still jams up occasionally.

Are you sure you are using OpenGL?

I just tried it and had no problems at all. Much faster than 11.

I am using Open GL. It's strange because I opened a different project and it's working fine, but then some other models sometimes freeze up. I have a brand spanking new computer so I know that is not the issue.

I agree when it is working it is much faster than 11.
