Im using V9 (latest build) with a G5, 2.7 GHz and 4.5 RAM. The AC file is around 40mb.....just keeps crashing when move to 3d. Have tested all lib parts etc. Is this a common experience?
Just out of interest, whats the largest site/ development people have modeled on here? Not really thinking masterplan but planning approval stage ie internal walls, windows stairs - just not quite construction.

If still slow, turn the layer you just turned off back on, and then repeat for each subsequent layer. I have done this in the past and found a particular object, usually fascia to completely slow the 3D image. In this case, I rebuilt the fascia and the 3D image improved significantly.

I have recently started to input library balconies, stairs and windows etc. There are alot of SEO's for land excavation and roads/ pavements are all mesh. Maybe its all adding up even though the design is pretty 'developer standard'.
I fear the only options are, as you say, to narrow down a bad part etc.

I had a similar set of crashes in a 30 MB model when swtching to 3D. It turned out to be the parameters of a column set to zero for all dimensions. I know I didn't set them to zero. To trace it was a painful process of turning on each layer at a time.
In this case model half the building (by stories or marquee). If it crashes, model half of that, if it doesn't model half of the other. Continue by halves until you've narrowed it down.
This is like the old game of twenty questions which can (theoretically) resolve from 1,048,576 items down to one in twenty steps.

BTW: that model looks really nice, reminds me a lot of the new developments in the Butcher's Wharf / Shad Thames area.
cheers,
Dan
