Long load time for rendering using BIM360

[rlewandowski]

I am working on a project that utilizes BIM360 for the first time and have run into an issue that appears to deal with Vray loading the model once I click render. After clicking Render with Vray, down on the progress bar it will say that it is "Printing: "file name" - "View in project"" and slowly tick up a couple of percentage points. If I cancel it.... it will eventually ask if I want to cancel the process and once I click yes, it will render the view. However, depending on how long I wait affects the number of elements it has loaded to render. If I let it sit, it takes over 5 min to get through that process, and 10 sec to render (draft quality). Is this typical? If so, can this be optimized? I am running Revit 2017.2.3 and Vray for Revit 3.50.02. I was previously running older versions and the wait time was a lot longer (I actually never was able to get it to load).

I can PM images to show you what is happening. Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi rlewandowski,

How big is the scene that you try to render?
Before it starts rendering, V-Ray needs some time to export the project geometries and materials. In your case it takes 5 min because probably the project is big.
Can this be optimized? -> Yes, we have optimized export times for the upcoming release. It will run much faster.
Please, PM me. It would be great if you can send us the project, so that we can test it in our environment here.

Best,
Ana
