Baking Info
=====

* Baking data is required to store calculated data to avoid heavy calculations each time. This should be done after each :ref:`road change <roadEdit>` and before the launch of the scene.
* To validate that all traffic objects are properly configured (use the :ref:`TrafficObjectFinder tool <trafficObjectFinder>` to find the traffic objects with the errors by `InstanceID` shown in the console).
