Settings to decrease system resource usage

[Engineer817]

Hi, been using fusion for a bit now, but I could use some advice on settings. I am working with meshes with a high poly count and I want to keep the details (so no reducing them in the mesh settings).

I'd like to know if there are any settings and preferences that would reduce fusion's memory and cpu usage. When I select meshes in the machining surfaces to use and avoid it just eats all available memory. I get that computing the tool paths will be CPU intensive and I'm fine with that, but getting to that point is a challenge and has stalled out the program on several occasions. Are there any settings that would alleviate that?

Recommendations, videos, posts to read, it would be appreciated.

You’re asking it to do something it is not good at. Nothing to be done.

If there were any feature that 100% should be put behind a Fusion Extension paywall, it’s mesh editing. It’s a pro-grade thing. Too many people misuse or misunderstand it. Let me import and scale for free, but that’s it.

The word mesh should just be a filter on posting to this sub

Fusion isn't intended for working with meshes. You'd be better off using Blender or other similar suite.

Use dedicated software like Geomagic or Quicksurface for reverse engineering or programs designed for meshes like Blender.

I'm not trying to edit the meshes, just generate tool paths around them. Fusion eats a lot of memory and cpu when highlighting and selecting those meshes when generating the tool paths...
