No, I've tried reducing the object by its complexity, and then removed all texture maps to make it as small as possible in memory, yet when reimporting the original object back to its original place, it tends to reorient around a random axis.

I know what you meant as I have done both Replace By options. Flushing memory is part of my workflow, as is reducing the number of undos to 1, and disabled the automatic backup feature (That crashed Vue every time it ran) Currently running in 64 bit.

Was hoping for a magic pill that would make certain parts of the image 'invisible' to the computer until it was time to render.

I'll have to rethink my approach to this render.
