max 2012 uses a lot of ram

[themaxxer]

I have the same problem like jsrocha wrote on thearea.com but the guys from autodesk are sleeping. maybe somebody could help me.

I think I found the problem, I’m looking for a fix now. Be right back…
edit:
The problem seems to be, indeed, thousands of notes tracks. Check the attached image:
The left track view is from a fresh, clean scene, from a just opened Max.
The right track view is what I get after merging anything from your scene.
I tried to delete the whole ‘Max MotionClip Manager’ node, using

[COLOR=#0000BB]deleteTrackViewNode trackviewnodes[[/COLOR][COLOR=#FF8000]#Max_MotionClip_Manager][/COLOR]

but it’s not a node, but a controller. I don’t know how it got there, but there should be a way to get rid of it with a script. Since I’m a little short of time, I’ve just stopped there, but let me know if you can’t fix it, I’ll take a look today after work. Probably if you can post the script you used to clean the problem before, I can take a look at it.
cheers!

thanks codi for the script. but it doesen't work, because have over 24 million notes and the script doesn't seem to work with so many notes to delete.

is there another way to delete the notes?

I am very frustrated because I have to remodel everything from scratch.

thanks for helping.

Mmh, maybe "deleteTrackViewController <maxtvnode> <controller>" could work but I can't test it, could you send me a sample file with some of these notes?

[themaxxer]

maybe somebody has an idea to delete the nasty notes...!
here are the scenes: http://www.pixelschmiede.ch/download/notes.zip

thanks for your effort.

deleteTrackViewController seems to solve the problem, could you try this?

deleteTrackViewController trackviewnodes TrackViewNodes.Max_MotionClip_Manager

To be sure it works, run the script, save, exit max and reload the file ... I don't know if deleting MaxMotionClipManager will break something in the scene.
