https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/Constant-crashing/m-p/257653#M1086 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content">Hi, I'm pretty new to Archicad (and CAD in general), so please forgive me.<BR /><BR />I built a model in Archicad and am attempting to export/render it in BIMx so that I can show colleagues what I've done. My problem is that no matter how I attempt to do it, I have problems with crashing. If I try to export it with GI enabled, the export process crashes. If I export without, I can usually create the .bimx file, but then the viewer crashes when I try and walk through it, regardless of lighting options.<BR /><BR />My bimx file is 220MB and has 7467K triangles. I'm trying to use it on a late 2012 iMac with 16GB RAM and a quad-core 2.7GHz i5 processor. Is the problem that my model is too complex for the resources available?<BR /><BR />Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</DIV> Tue, 09 May 2023 14:14:50 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-09T14:14:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/BIMx/Constant-crashing/m-p/257653#M1086 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content">Hi, I'm pretty new to Archicad (and CAD in general), so please forgive me.<BR /><BR />I built a model in Archicad and am attempting to export/render it in BIMx so that I can show colleagues what I've done.
