Rendering SmartParts and smart symbols

CINEMA 4D resolves SmartParts and smart symbols into a large number of discrete 3D elements, thus producing large volumes of data.

If a model contains a large number of the same SmartParts and smart symbols, Allplan transfers these elements just once to CINEMA 4D and CineRender, where they will be resolved just once. All other identical objects are merely render instances. When you change the original object, this change also applies to all other instances. The data of railings and facades will be transferred in the same way.

This reduces data volumes considerably. As a result, you can edit and calculate models more quickly. In addition, you can rotate large models smoothly.

Note: Only identical SmartParts and smart symbols will be handled as render instances. Existing elements that were resized are considered to be discrete elements. Consequently, these elements will be resolved.
