Raster images load very slowly

Hello,

I am trying to attach multiple raster images totaling around 1 GB of data. The rasters are aerial images that were taken from NearMaps. I am having trouble with how slowly the rasters are loading. It can take up to 15 minutes for a few rasters to load, and I have never gotten all of the rasters to load (50 images) at the same time.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get these aerials to load faster?

Thanks in advance.

  • Well there are some raster resources (memory) settings. 50 1g rasters will be a workout, I would suggest separate files or models, maybe 10 or 20 raster each, then reference those to the production documents. You'll also want a strong PC, preferably 64-bit windows with at least 16 gb memory. 32+ even better, beefy GPU will help as well. When you attach the things, set your view somewhere out of the way, so it doesn't need to display them until they're all in there.
