We use the Terrasolid add-ons for LiDAR laser scanning. The program is only using ~900mb of memory and 8-10% of CPU on a 64GB computer with Intel Xeon CPU. When processing, some parts take up to 24 hours or more for small point clouds of no more than 10M points. Does anybody have a suggestion for how we may be able to improve this? Terrasolid support have been unable to provide guidance on the issue.
We are using Powerdraft Connect Edition 10.05.00.43 - update 5.
Hi
Just a thought... try PowerDraft CE update 10. It is faster than previous builds

Why? It's their application! And does it has a certificate to run with Powerdraft CE Upd. 5??

I think the main problem with the operation of the Terrasolid software could be the versions of MicroStation & PowerDraft CONNECT Edition they have been certified with so an upgrade to Update 10 is probably not in the cards.
