Why is model navigation laggy?

Why is model navigation laggy?

There is a number of different factors that affect bimU.io’s performance:

  • Model size and complexity: If your model is huge, you might want to split it into a few different views and upload them separately.

  • Hardware specification: Check if your machine has a dedicated graphics card and is NOT on the Power Saver mode. It is also found that Apple iOS devices perform better than any other mobile devices. 

  • Software configuration: Make sure you use the latest version of internet browser and hardware acceleration is turned on in your browser settings. 


We are more than happy to help diagnose a performance issue. Please log a support ticket on our service desk or simply send an email to support@bimu.io. We’ll be in touch as soon as we can.
