Performance Gauge (Life Meter)

Once your file is uploaded in to your BRIO scene, you will see the Performance Gauge in the top left of your screen. This serves as your 'Life Meter', which indicates the complexity or heaviness of your scene before it reaches the maximum.

Click START if you are happy with the size of your file, or else CANCEL and try with another file.
