Why is the computer slow when using AutoCAD for 3D drawing?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I have a question. After using AutoCAD to create 3D diagrams of chemical plant processes, buildings, and equipment, I found that my computer’s performance became very slow, especially after applying colors; it became even slower. Why is this? If this situation cannot be changed, then it will be impossible to use CAD for 3D drawing in the future, right? I would like to ask the teachers for their advice; thank you in advance!
For creating 3D models, it is best to use wireframe display; although it appears messy, it places less strain on the computer and allows for faster model creation. 3D models have more to handle than 2D models, and rendering further increases the workload on the graphics card, which is why the processing speed is slower compared to handling 2D graphics. For 3D design, it’s best to have a computer with high specifications: at least 2GB of RAM and a good graphics card. I created a model that worked smoothly in wireframe mode, but it crashed as soon as I tried to render it, haha.
