Loading assets every time is time wasted

mattendler - if you allow all the assets to load at least once in to the Asset Library, that will help speed up the loading a great deal, even when starting a new Revit work session, you should find that after doing this the assets will load much, much faster into the Asset Library.

There is a small verification check that takes place each time the Asset Library is loaded to make sure that the assets are current, but that should not result in long loading times if your internet speed is good.

We are aware that this is an issues for a number of user, however, and we are looking at alternatives to the current behavior.

We did provide the assets into the installer to begin with, but this was considered bad in that it meant the installer file would end up being huge.

However, we do also have a story regarding us providing an offline library, and although that may end up not being the end solution, I have up-voted that story on your behalf. in the meantime.

Pete Chamberlain Make it so that all of it is stored locally, so we can read it quickly, and then choose to update as needed via internet. An internet check everytime is killing us. Seconds count!

Thanks, be assured that your feedback has been noted!

maybe the "check for updates" button would be the solution?

+1 local lib with verification on app launching. this would be extremely good for those who stand behind the “Wall”

HI,

Any updates regarding slow loading times? It takes about 8 seconds for the assets to switch categories when I jump from say Construction to Vegetation in the categories list in the top left.

I'll forward your additional feedback, thank you all - General Hadeda , we'll improve this a lot for 2.7, so stay tuned for that. In general, the speed regarding how fast Assets will be loaded via the internet is something which will steadily improve.

mattendler - perhaps you have a Windows policy where the Temp folder is being cleared automatically, as described here?

Or are you saying that the metadata is not being created at all, ever?

mattendler - So the system is caching for you. What version Enscape are you using?

Are you connecting to the internet via Wi-For via cable?

Do you have a Firewall enabled? If so, you may need to add some URL exceptions.

Can you provide some video of this slow loading, so the developers can see if this behavior is within tolerance?

Tikos , I'm afraid, at least at the current moment this behavior is to be expected. This will be greatly improved with 2.7 though, maybe even earlier with an update prior to that. We're definitely aware that the current loading times are not perfect, but we're on it.

Does the fix you mention address 'downloading from the server' only, or also opening the library when you have cached 100% of the library in the temp folder.

Our library still takes between 5 and 10 seconds to open, but when we check the temp folder it seems to be fully cached.

Both should be addressed accordingly actually - improvements will come pretty soon!

You might also include a NEW tag when updating the assets on your end...

It's becoming a chore to tell what's been added each time I open...

Perhaps it's possible to start on an EMPTY (or very few objects) PAGE... then let us choose a FILTER before displaying...

If I'm not mistaken, once you engage a filter, you also wait for the refresh...

I'm adding my support to request a fix for this. It is interminably slow to search for items, clear a filter to return to all elements, and wait for it all to reload again. Now repeat this over and over again. It's quite painful.
