Native objects are built with ARCHICAD’s GDL technology and are streamlined to work efficiently within an ARCHICAD project.
In this article, we will review how to control the detail level of native ARCHICAD objects, steps to review a model’s polygon count, third-party options for managing the number of polygons, and how to reduce an object’s file size. There are several methods for controlling polygon count in ARCHICAD which is different for native objects versus imported objects.
High detail levels in meshes can bloat the polygon count, making it difficult to navigate in 3D.
If your 3D Window in ARCHICAD is sluggish, there is a good chance you’ve imported objects that have a high polygon count.
