How to stop 3D realtime updates for performance reasons?

[pinnaclesignslr]

I wish I could find an option to disable realtime updates of the 3d object. If it's a complex object I have to wait forever for it to finish loading after changing a single number (the rotation values for example) before changing the next one. So going from x value -1.5 to -22.5 for example would take 3 different instances of waiting for it to load. I'd like the make changes to all the values before it tries to update. Does anyone know how to do this?

Have you tried switching to Outline mode? It wont render or show the 3D object. Change back to preview when ready.

You can turn off Realtime drawing in the preferences.

You could also turn off Raytracing in the 3D & Materials panel.

Hi @pinnaclesignslr,

Thanks for reaching out. 3D real-time updates can be stopped by unchecking Ray Tracing and then clicking the render button in the 3D & Materials panel or simply clicking the "render with ray tracing" button to switch to real-time preview.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,
