does it happen in one particular direction only - ex. res1 to res2 works fine but not the other way around? can you change the resolution back and forth ten times in a row on the same model without any issues?
what if you change resolution on four of them, save scene, restart xsi, open scene and change the res on the 5th one? If it crashes I’d say something is wrong in the setup - but as you say, they work fine separately, so that’s hard to pin down. But if it works fine, IMO it points to a performance problem. Is the geo very heavy, lots of objects, materials? are there fancy overrides? You could lower the amount of undo’s or disable them altogether – see if that makes a difference?

I have 5 different referenced models where res1 is a full resolution model and res2 is a proxy model which loads an Arnold standin. My problem is that when I change resolution on all 5 models Softimage crashes. If I take them one at a time and change resolution, it works for the first four, but the fifth crashes Softimage. I have changed order and it seems it is not one particular model which causes the crash - it is just the fifth I chose to change. I have tried changing it in the scntoc file too which also causes a crash. I am suspecting some sort of problem with the delta, but I can't see how it could have become corrupted - I have pose constrained a null in the ref model to an animated null in the scene, and the constrained null is the same in each resolution of the ref model. Do any of you with ref model experience have an inkling of an idea about what might cause this? Best Morten
