Easy way to simplify complex shapes?


Recommended Posts

I'm working on a deisgn for a show with a band. I downloaded a dxf drum kit file and imported it. It took forever and created an object with 161,000+ 3D polygons. I don not need this level of detail for my 1/4" scale drawing. Is there a way to quickly simplify the object into fewer surfaces. I don't really want to go through tthe hassle of creating a drum kit from scratch, but any time I try to do anything with this one, it hogs the program for about 20 minutes (on OSX with 1.5 GB RAM). Anything to simplify or speed this up?

Thanks,

Jeff
