fabrica Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 had a go at importing the following sink : https://bimobject.com/en/ceramica-catalano/product/catalano_basin_zero_100x50_cod_110ze00 in revit form. A mess, 2018 was really slow and unresponsive after importing + very , very slow to import also. Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I would prefer to convert into Solid Objects. VW isn't so optimized to work with Meshes. On the other hand it is also not unlikely that the Geometry in Revit itself isn't that good either. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 14, 2017 Same slowness if you don't choose the Mesh option? Agree with Zoomer about the Solids option, in my tests it was superior. Mesh Objects is the same (and only) option the previous version had and I would not expect a change in behavior.

0 zoomer Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Of course if the source is only a fuzzy mesh, the Solid conversion can't do better geometry from it automatically and stores the same data - but a bit more effective for VW. It may be worth to recreate this with true solid operations like Fillets and such things that will create much smaller data. Quote Link to comment
0 fabrica Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'll give the solids a go, I was put off by the note below..... Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I also need to find an interesting Revit File to test the Import 2.0. When finding time after other testing So I'm still curious how it will work for you .... Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Robert Anderson Posted September 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 14, 2017 Also, there is the new "Simplify Mesh" command on the Modify menu. This can do wonders for excessively tessellated meshes like the one you are showing... 1 Quote Link to comment
0 zoomer Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Not tested yet, but I am pretty sure that I will run that in the future over every furniture ressource that I load into a file. Quote Link to comment
0 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Dave Donley Posted September 14, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 14, 2017 Definitely try the Modify->Simplify Mesh command. If your imports produce mesh objects it will reduce the face count of them way down without changing the character of the shape. We hope to make simplify mesh more prominent in the import features in the future because it can potentially help a lot. You don't have to drill down and select the meshes individually BTW, you can select a group or other container that has meshes inside and the meshes will be simplified. Quote Link to comment
0 gester Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 i only had to remove one of the messed up objects and the whole cleared in an instant. but i dunno how or why rob Quote Link to comment
