Adding removing or opening scenes

leo04

I have a scene, The Underground Club, that I am using for a series of images.  After staging a scene I select and delete a group of props and characters it takes over an  hour to remove them.  I have the same issue merging similar items.  This hadn't always been the case but lately it has been a real deterent to getting things done.

I'd suggest two things. First, look at the .duf file size. Sometimes things can get confused and the file starts saving every vertex, every facet, every morph and so on in the duf file, suggesting it has forgotten about the content library for that file. If so a file size of >2Gb is possible. Second thing I'd check is to see how much RAM is being used. If, after opening, Task Manager is flat lining at around 31.8Gb, suggests the current scene holds residuals of the stuff you have deleted, and it would be a good idea to start afresh with a new scene. Sort of like a memory leak that goes between sessions because you're using a dodgy starting point. Otherwise, I m out of ideas. Regards, Richard.
