We are considering using OGRE in our architectural CAD viewer/editor. Our problems are the following: we have many entities, about several thousands. The entities should be able to move independently in a constraint driven environment. Entities are organized in a hierarchical structure.
The performance was low if every entity would have an own mesh. How can such a scene be modeled with OGRE? I wasted some time to figure out it from the OGRE demos, but I do not know it.
Thanks in advance...

Well, since a custom scene manager might be pointless if large portions of the system are on the screen at any given time. You might look at using the new StaticGeometry, with some smart partitioning and rebuilding of the geometry it could probably attain fairly high speeds since it would be batching up tons of the small pieces. Just a knee jerk thought.
