      Hi,

      I have a file which is giving so much spinning rainbow wheel that I can't do anything. I've purged and fixed errors in Model Info > Statistics. Another post suggested something about checking the textures by exporting them, but i can't work out how to do that.

      Can anyone take a look and see why this file is crippling my computer? Here's the file:

      Dropbox

      favicon

      (www.dropbox.com)

      Many thanks.

      Jay.

        Most likely the bottle neck is at your graphics card. You could do a couple of things that might help.

        1. Choose a faster style like the default Shaded style.
        2. Use the Monochrome face style so your graphics card doesn't have to render the textures. Save displaying textures for your output.
        3. Turn off layers for things you don't need to see while you are working.
        4. If you are saving to and working on your file from a cloud storage location, don't. Make sure you are keeping the file saved on a local drive. That is a built in drive.
