Question:
I have difficulties to apply a pour break in my model. When I have pours visible, model is slow and I cannot apply pour beaks.

Answer:
The problem might be that there are too many parts in a pour. When there are too many parts in one pour, the model is slow to handle. So you should divide the model into smaller pours using pour phases:
  1. Click Tools > Options > Disable Pours And Pour Breaks to disable pours temporarily.
  2. Select concrete parts that should form one pour. We recommend that one pour phase should contain less than 50 parts.
  3. In Concrete Beam Properties dialog box > Cast unit tab, click

    button twice to clear all check boxes. With the Concrete Beam Properties dialog box you can modify all concrete part types, like footings, columns, slabs, etc.
  4. Enter a value for Pour phase and select the check box in front of that field.
  5. Click Modify.
  6. Click Tools > Options > Disable Pours And Pour Breaks to enable pours again.
 Once you have divided the model into pour phases, it is easier and faster to apply pour breaks.
