I have a big project that moved from VWX to AutoCAD except for my scope of the project (video) which has stayed in VWX. Now that they have the whole space modeled, the grid designed in AutoCAD, I need to get their 3D objects into my project and conform to the final version of things.
In the past, I've had success where the client just exports a DWG - and then on import I identify their layers as classes and it's a little slow to do the conversion but it works fine.
With this project, the import works fine, but it is unbearably slow, often unresponsive, in VWX. So laying in my projectors and their accessories is impossible.
I'm guessing the slowness has something to do with the 7000 objects on import. The AutoCAD folks have paired it down as much as possible for me, but it's just not working right yet.
I tried the OBJ method as well, but it's even slower than the DWG method. Having the layers via the DWG method is also extremely helpful. So I don't want to lose that.
Have tried on multiple machines as well. Windows, Mac, etc.

Is there a better way to do this?
