Open an section takes too long

[Anonymous]

hey,
opening a section by clicking right in story on the section-marker "open section" it takes a few minutes until I can work in the section. (3 min)

Opening the section without any displayed layer it takes a few seconds. AND turning the wanted layer on it also takes only a few secondes (15 sec) .
That' crazy!

Does anybody know this problem? or better, does anyone knows the solution?
I doesn't depend on Hardware. The same TW-project works on one PC fine an on two others we have the problem.
HW: intel C2D; 2GB Ram;
SW: AC10 [1183] GER FULL @XPpro SP2

and for sure its not a big project? and not shaded with shadows?

does a -simple- section takes the same time?

" no shading..no shadows?"

It is indeed a big project! we work excessiv wit hotlinks... (hotlinked PLP)

but it's a simple section. No shading, no shadow.

Even renaiming/renumbering the sections in the INFO-palet/navigater it takes ages...

ok , mybe this can help " but i don't know about hotlinked modules "

The section rebuild time is based on the number of polygons in visible in the model. Lots of surfaces (walls, objects, windows, doors, etc) means longer rebuild time.

@Tom again:

1.) all (wanted) layers on--> building section = 3 min
_____

2.) NO layer on --> Building section = 15 sec
......in "emty" section switching (wanted) layer on = rebuild in 20 sec makes suma sumarum 35 sec. But its a workaround.

Ergo, AC is able to build my section in 35 sec! But why the hell it takes 3 min on the direct way? (right_click "open section")
