Which is also why rendering refers to the <i>final gather</i> or <i>gathering</i> for the assembly of the final image as the rendering tasks are completed.<br /><br />It isn't that <i>simple</i> for many other things that Revit does however.<br /><br />In particular with the last three releases (2015-17) they've taken advantage of multi-threading more and more. They also used the phrase <i>background operation</i> to describe how Revit can complete some tasks now without preventing us from continuing with other tasks.<br /><br />Naturally, they've focused their effort where it is going to improve our perception of performance. I've been told many times that multi-threading for the sake of using multiple cores can just as easily ruin our experience with performance, if it isn't implemented well.<br /><br />Since I'm not <i>writing the code</i> (or make computers/processors) I just keep pressing them for <i>faster</i> results for the tasks we do and I don't dwell on <i>how the sausage is made</i>.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-89838444356429652882016-11-07T10:02:16.438-08:002016-11-07T10:02:16.438-08:00Will Revit ever be multi-threaded like Maya and us...Will Revit ever be multi-threaded like Maya and use more of my i7 cores?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-37120765773016997912016-10-26T08:30:59.711-07:002016-10-26T08:30:59.711-07:00I always recommend that people ALWAYS use the Load...I always recommend that people ALWAYS use the Load Family icon from the Insert Tab & not the ones presented on the context tools.<br />The reason is that I've seen too many people get frustrated or confused by the message:<br />"Some or all of the family files you selected cannot be loaded."<br />What that means is that, if you picked the Load Family from a context menu, you can ONLY load that category of family.<br />For example, if you selected the Door Tool and then the Load Family, you can only load Door families. If you pick a Window instead, you get the error above.<br />I believe you are more efficient by being consistent than saving a click or two.DavePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422882545893464197noreply@blogger.com
