Save on Render

[henrycross]

I'm working on a file that appears to have some corruption. It takes around 40mins to save. At the minute it saves the file when I click render. Does any know if this can be turn off???

Check out this other old thread (but with current recommendations)

Have you also tried creating a new file, and then merging your old scene into it?

Dean,

 

Thanks for your help with this. I'll fairly confident that this has been caused by importing from Autocad. I read this:

 

A suggestion for annoying objects tyes for AutoCAD Architecture

 

Somtimes when you import AutoCad models (with windows,doors blocks ...) in max scene you will find a lot invisible objects "LinkComosite" that are very annoying and difficult to find. I use this line of code for cleaning.

delete (for o in objects where classof i == LinkComosite collect o)

 

 

Do I just copy the above line into the MAXScript Listener and hit return? Also I'm new to scripts. I've put the cleaner in the scripts folder but I'm unable to access it from max could you let me know how?

 

Thanks again

 

P.S Some decent work on your portfolio section

If you clean things that way, their children will fly all over the place.

 

I humbly suggest my DWG Cleanup script, which takes a couple extra steps to reset the transforms of the children before deleting the LinkComposites, Ensures nothing has a white wireframe color, and flattens the layers of the DWG while retaining wireframe colors.
