Animation

Hey,

I'm running BikeCAD 12.0 on a Mac (16gb ram, SSD HD, 2.6 i5, OS 10.11 -- El Capitan). I'm trying to use the animation feature to show a client a mock-up but the animation rate is ridiculously slow. I've quit other applications, rebooted, etc. but the problem persists. This is the first time I've really tried to use the animation feature so maybe I'm missing something.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Tom

Animation

Animation will be very slow if you have the rear derailleur and/or the chain displayed. You should note a dramatic difference once these items are turned off.

If it's important to you that the derailleur and chain are shown, you may consider generating an animated GIF. This will take some time to process, but once it's created, it can play back at a speedy frame rate. You can also e-mail it or post it online which is handy if your customer is somewhere else.
