Calculating 'Facility_ID' attributes for the DETAILS feature class (128,000 records) takes over one hour for a simple calcuation to a text field.

I have an imported building within a Indoors GDB (version 3.0). The DETAILS feature class required the addition of three extra attribute fields named 'ELEVATION_RELATIVE', 'VERTICAL_ORDER', and 'FACILITY_ID'.

After adding the fields, I am using a simple CALCULATE FIELD command to populate the values. For example, the "FACILITY_ID = StateOfIndiana.Building1" is a simple text string calculation. The problem is this seems to take over an hour to complete this calculation.

The DETAILS contain 128,000 records... but the calculation appears to take longer than usual.

Is this common while working within the Indoors GDB model?

You may have attribute rules enabled in your gdb. Just disable before doing calculation.

That worked like a charm. Thanks for the tip.
