Fly through rendering is too slow

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Some advice please.

I am working on a AC10 project on a mac machine with the specs attached. The file size on archive is 17.6MB. Rendering a fly through is seeming impossible. Archicad keeps quiting if not too slow. I have left the project running overnight with little success.

I have also tried setting options. rendering 1-5 frames at a time, using low resolution, using opengl engine, using a small screen size, deleting interior walls and objects, u name it.

I have a hedge from the ac library. i assume it has many polygons but when i delete it its still not improving the render speed.

What could be wrong?

That's too bad - rendering IS slow:

Here are some things you might do to speed up the process:

- eliminate refraction in transparent materials.
- use Sun - Sun Shader instead of Realistic Sun
- exactly HOW small is the rendering window?
