what happens to the time stamps of the original 1, 2, 3,...etc?
Are they bumped up sequentially?
By the way there's no picture in your post.

It's 2,3,4
Next time it's 3,4,5

It doesn't matter since you have to check the brushes later, anyway. But you might start with the first big air brushes that you've set. Just try it.
An example. This is Mixed Messages. There are 14792 WR-cells

https://i.imgsafe.org/f99bbbffda.jpgLook at the marked big air brush on the screen. It's time stamp is "4". I set it to "1" and optimized. I saved 17 WR Cells.
The next step is to set the air brushes under this brush to 2, 3, 4...This will save many cells.
This is kinda odd since all of my missions large air brush already started with 1. Even if the first brush's time stamp was a 4 why would it matter? The timing is simply the order in which the brushes are processed.
Wasn't there a dromed command like compress brush IDs that would eliminate unused IDs?

I don't know. :cheeky:
I stumbled across this months ago on a german forum. Someone (Christine) saved thousands of WR-cells just by shifting the time stamps back and forth. I've no idea why this should work. But it does.

What do you mean by "the air brushes under this brush"?
Also, is there a command for cycling through the times of the brushes and having that particular brush hilight. I found brush 1 but it was a crap shoot.

Well, more air brushes in this area. Near the "ground" or elsewhere. You can try every brush. It's very important to note the WR-cells in the monolog in each step.

So far by changing one air large air brush to time stamp 1 and optimizing, the cell count dropped 501 cells. That is freaky. But the next change made it go back up 287 cells, so this is trial and error? All I had to do though was go back and put the first change back to 1 and it went back down to its original 501 cells. This is freaking me out.
Addendum: I've moved one brush to 1, and another brush to 2, and my original brush 1 isn't 3 now, it's 4, by the way.

This question also, if anyone knows.....

Another large air brush changed to 3, and the two solids in this simple area changed to 4 and 5, and bam! Another 90 cells saved!What the heck?????
uncadonego on 21/3/2017 at 21:51
You may be surprised by this. I've experimented a bit and had to reload because some of my selections have made the cell count go up, but so far with trial and error, I'm up to time stamp 7 and the mission has been reduced by 2765 cells!
Add that to the changes I made with not having to do the old water/evaporate stuff for smooth arches from 7 years ago, and changing some wedges for cylinders or vice versa depending on results, I've lowered the cell count by 3418 cells since that first post a couple days ago.
I'm starting to feel better. :)
