I know that this issue has been discussed somewhat. I would like to go over it one more time with anyone that can give any advice.
When creating content, such as toilets, casework, tables, etc, i understand that it is best to turn off the 3d componants in plan and use symbolic lines. The issue then becomes that things like floor patterns show thru the components. So you need to have a filled region component to add in the family so the floor doesn't show thru.
After you do all this it will show just as the 3d piece would have. is it really worth the effort to add the filled region? do you get lot of performance benefits out of turning the 3d components off?
The reason that i ask is that until now we have been doing smaller jobs, where i have not noticed too much slow down. We have some larger project coming online and i want to try to iron out some bugs and performance hogs before it is crunch time.
Thanks
Justin
