jarjones Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi Jeff, If it was me I would simply trace over the drums (and then extrude them is needed for 3d). Yes it will take time, but probably in the long run will save you time. Good Luck (and remember "it's only rock n roll") :-) Quote Link to comment
