I have a file with no elements and one ref with some geometry (actually a dwg of 25 MB).
I create a BV and place it as separate Model in the same file.
I open ABDss4 and the file with default Model, the 3d. Takes some 30 seconds.
I then use Models dialog to open a Model with a plan BV.
I takes about 9 seconds and I get all geometry displayed on screen.
BUT I can't do anything for more than 20 seconds more!?
First Mesage Center says - Processing MicroStation Visibility Calculator
Then
MicroStation Visibility Calculator took longer than expected! (23.5 seconds)
and I can start working.
What is going on and why can't I start working after the 9 seconds when I see all geometry?
Sections is almost instant to open. But plans has this extra 20 seconds.
Why?
Really disturbing.

Its probably due to automatic annotation regeneration?
Dominic is correct. Further information here:

Marc
with a dwg? no MicroStation elements at all!
and where will this end?
We have a program that should produce 2d from 3d.
Then we have to disable things with CVE and annotation to be able to use it.
I suspect this won't be helped much with faster machines?
To reduce or eliminate the MicroStation Visibilty Calculator messages, try disabling Building Designer > Auto-Annotations. The visibility calculator message typically occurs due to the automatic scan process that determine whether any geometry changes in the 3D model(s) require annotation changes in the drawing.
