Hi guys,
I'm using a curb from the builtin library and will test more but I think ever since I use segment IDs for lowering of the curb my saves gotten really long! I mean it's a big scene with about 30 houses and long curb goes up and down but shouldn't RC like save only a "generator" and not the mesh that it generated? Even though it's showing in the viewport. The preview is in boxes. I hope I'm making sense.
I also noticed that save files are not bigger than they were and they are actually pretty small like 80MB but it takes like 5 mins to save.

It may not be a Railclone problem.
Try some cleanup scripts like:

As Dragan indicated, it really can be not a RailClone problem. We could check it if You have attached Your max file or sent (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) it to us.

Thanks guys. Tried PruneScene plugin but it didn't help. The scene save with everything in it takes 2:18 minutes. When I delete the RC curb it takes 25s. I just tried merging that object into an empty scene and now it saves for a bit less than 6 mins lol! Yes that's minutes. I'm sending a file. Please be patient for it may take a while to load too.
I also often see you guys sharing links for cool RC generators (or whatever they're called). Is there anywhere I can check the newer road/curb generators than the ones that come with RC?

Just noticed I used curve 200 steps (something I tested initially I guess) but also as I see it doesn't really affect the amount of details, it just makes it more smooth on corners. And yes, I can confirm now that when I used spline segment IDs 1 (so no curb lowering for cars) it saves pretty much instantly, but I after I change some segments to 2 save and scene behavior becomes terrible...almost unusable. So takes 6 mins to save a 10MB file.

Yes, that is what I noticed as well. "Drop" geometry segments are much denser in polygon counts so they do take longer to be deformed.
In this case I would set spline interpolations to max (100 ) and override it in RailClone with 1. While You are working in Max. Once You are ready to render change that to 0 to inherit smooth curves.

I see what you mean. Thanks for your assistance. The numbers I used were too high anyway. It's ok now when I use spline interpolation and RC override 0...so no override.
