Is this a new problem?
With this file only?
How complex is the file?
Do you get any error messages in the 3D Report?

Put your machine configuration in your forum signature - especially how much RAM.

Hi

it is not new problem,

i am running a 2.5GB DDRSDRAM if that will help you.

The model is pretty complex - and pretty big too.

Any advice would be a help - Thanks Myles.

And the 3D Report??? - you may need to locate this and enable it.

I think this is a corrupt element - cut the project into segments through marquee or layer visibility to possibly isolate it.

Try to remove the shadow from the 3d setings, if it has the shadow on, it will take more time to process it!
