Description:

When on, int_cur and spl_sur types are compared with those that have already been restored to determine if they are identical to a previously restored int_cur or spl_sur. when restoring save files. This option significantly reduces the size of retrieved bodies and aids subsequent operations, but it can be expensive and can become noticeable when restoring large parts. Turning it off will speed up the restore process. However, the amount of memory required to restore a model will be larger, since sharing of geometry is not taking place. Also, evaluations of geometry during modeling operations may take longer because the test for coincidence will take place each time the objects are evaluated. This may cause the test to happen many times instead of once when the model is loaded. On is the default.

Example:

; test_share

; Turn off share testing

(option:set "test_share" #f)

;; #t
