2.9 Version , scatter in landscape causes lag

Hello everyone,

I am working on a landscape model(which also contains some interior for the main building)
I am trying to use scatter for a better outcome but my model turns into a massive lagging file.
I though maybe using scatters would work fine but it looks like it is not that efficient or maybe I am doing something wrong. For the first step, I tried to reduce the density of every scatter to 10% but still, it is lagging a lot (not even trying precise mode)

it is mostly grass and bushes not even added enough trees and plants I need.
Is there any general help for doing this?

I have to note that I use a single model file, meaning the whole model is one Sketchup file, and did not separate the building and landscape into two files. As I am constantly editing model file I thought maybe it was not a good idea to have separate models for each part.

So, if it was not a good idea is there any way that I can do it now considering all the objects are added in the D5 file? And are there any benefits in having separate model files?

Of course, still, my priority is the first post I wrote(the lag issue).

Thank you all.

Hi there. I apologize for the incovenience. Generally, we do suggest users optimize their files and hide assets that are not relevant to the current view. Also, it is important to take note that assets made from the scatter tool do take up a lot of memory since these vegetation are not made from low-poly assets. Aside from optimizing your scene files, have you tried:

  • Enable FPS Booster in D5
  • Update your Graphics Card Driver may also help
  • Use the Merge Project Beta Widget, as this may be relevant to your workflow. Since this could potentially reduce the lag since it separates your project in different parts. You may refer to this link for further details and instruction

Thank you.
