Hello, I am trying to create a 4D construction simulation on UE5 using nanite because of revit’s large model. I can enable nanite on exactly 12287 assets, but when I try to enable on one more asset, unreal crashes
Dropbox link to my datasmith file:
I remember nanite had a few millions of triangle limit, which was denoted in docs. You may be hitting that limit.
Hi @ricardo.zimmerma , @dyanikoglu, @fw190a8 anyone who is investigating. In the latest post.
The original any my other answers are no longer valid
Can´t enable nanite for more than 12287 assets post 10 SOLVED
Hi @Jimbohalo10 ,
Thanks for your reply. I felt really dumb reading it as I didn’t understand very much. I have a revit/bim/dynamo background and only now I’m starting to adventure myself in the land of unreal.
My datasmith file is directly imported from revit, so I don’t really understand those errors.
Can you please explain better, if not asking too much?
My pc specs are:
CPU Ryzen 3900x
GPU RTX 3070 Vision
Memory 32 gb 3600mhz cl17
Windows 64 bits
1tb ssd mp600
HI @ricardo.zimmerma,
see the solved post Can´t enable nanite for more than 12287 assets to see POST 10 SOLVED
Even though your PC is much better spec than my PC still think you will need a 64 Gigabyte page file as Unreal 5 is such a hungry resource
I documented the installation of the pagefile.sys
Install windows 10 pagefile.sys
Hi @Jimbohalo10 , thanks again for replying…
I’ve allocated 64gb of virtual memory.
They had a similar problem in another post
Assertion failed - WorldPartition error on startup
Hi @Jimbohalo10,
the topic you mentioned was about restoring a broken project, right?
I don’t need to restore the project as I’ve tried to open in a blank template and got the same results.
My problem is that I can’t enable nanite on all assets and therefore I’m having massive fps drops because of the dense model
It’s a slightly different issue Jim although the errors do look very similar! Just in case anyone uses these threads in the future, I thought I’d just post to confirm that they’re not related! 
Hi @ricardo.zimmerma,
Well after a lot of investigation in the source code for UE5 I found how to fix this .
This is my log of Datasmith import

In the UE5 Project start-up log we now have
LogConfig: Applying CVar settings from Section [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] File [Engine]
LogConfig: Setting CVar [[r.GPUCrashDebugging:0]]
LogConfig: Setting CVar [[r.Nanite.Streaming.NumInitialRootPages:4096]]
The added line in C:\Users\Owner\source\repos\UE50\Engine\Config
BaseEngine.ini
in section [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.GPUCrashDebugging=false
;@VS2022 Added line increase r.Nanite.Streaming.NumInitialRootPages double from 2048
r.Nanite.Streaming.NumInitialRootPages=4096
Restart UE5 Editor again and new project → new level Add DataSmith Plugins
then import the file
So there it’s imported, there does not appear to be any lighting though?
Hello @Jimbohalo10 , thank you for your response.
I’ve added the line on the file but without success, maybe(probably) I am missing something.
Can you help me go deeper? 
@ricardo.zimmerma, I know what’s wrong now I followed the Lighting documentation page and when you add light you need to keep doubling until all the nanite elements are loaded into your picture because I am missing lots of static meshes.
Looking at the code this may mean 2048 * 16 or higher = 32,768
even higher is 2048 * 32 = 65,536 this is the maximum for an signed 16bit integer.
Could try 131072 which would be the top for an unsigned 32-bit integer
r.Nanite.Streaming.NumInitialRootPages=131072
You will have a big 64GB pagefile.sys like me to load all this. This would imply the number of Nanite.Streaming pages is not increasing and has to be set at the start.
May be you will only need this during and import conversion
The source code does not document this as supposed may be secret to Epic at the moment
Hi again @Jimbohalo10 ,
I’ve tried to import the datasmith file without lights and still crashed on 12288 assets.
Maybe I’m not understanding you well.
Do you think I need to allocate virtual memory again?
Also, building UE5.1 from source would fix the issue?
So many questions(sorry), but I’m really struggling with this.
You will need to try with the MAXIMUM value
also to add 64GB virtual emory.
You can add this using How to add a larger page file use 64GB
UPDATE have you seen/tried
r.Nanite.Streaming.StreamingPoolSize=4096
The initial value is 512 which is 
small!!
[UPDATE]
After building the newest version from source I could add more than the original maximum number of assets(12287). After copying some assets I was able to have 14k+ assets with nanite enabled…
It seems that they fixed the issue. After some more tests I’ll update the topic.
