Error: You have run out of memory. Please reduce the amount of memory used.

Issue

You received the following error message:

You have run out of memory. Please reduce the amount of memory used to [amount specified] MB and try again.

Solution

When working with large models, Autodesk NavisWorks software uses its own internal memory management instead of Windows memory management.

The internal memory manager "pages out" (clears large blocks of) memory at intervals to free up space in order to load more of the model. The model is loaded into memory incrementally rather than all at once.

If the memory limit—which affects the rate at which memory is paged out—is set too high, memory errors may occur, because it is less efficient to load the entire model or perform a large task all at once.

If you receive an error message instructing you to lower the amount of memory used to a specific amount, click Tools menu > Global Options > Performance > Memory Limit, and enter the specified amount.
