acdeslx Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I'm in need of some opinions. I am -- and will continue to be -- receiving some massive (300+ MB) files created in Rhino that I need to make use of in VW 2022. If I import them as .3dm files then it can take up to 30 mins to import and then any editing is painfully slow. If I import them as .dwg files then the file sizes are more manageable but when I try to visualize the file in 3d, I can use the Flyover Tool but none of the others will display anything (Walkthrough, Translate, etc.). Slow editing is also a problem but not as bad as the .3dm. If I need to buy a new PC then I will but I'm not really sure if the lag is from the processor speed or GPU speed or both. I'm current running: Intel Core i7-7700HQ (4-core) 32 GB RAM Nvidia GTX 1070ti w/8GB dedicated memory multiple SSDs for storage Any thoughts would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment
elepp Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hi, have you given the parasolid format a try? The geometry of VEctorworks is based on it and rhino can export it. We had some good results with some test files a while ago. The format should be called .xt, i think. Regards! Quote Link to comment
acdeslx Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 I tried parasolid in various forms and VW wouldn't even open them. It just hung after I chose to import and selected to either import or symbol or as not. The only real luck I've had is exporting the file as a DWG. It will import into VW as a 3D object which I can do a flyover with no problem. Strangely, I can't do a walkthrough which seems odd because the 3d is there. Quote Link to comment
Malovejr Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Yes, I am having the same problem. I work in the film industry and the art department on my show is also drafting in Rhino. Did you find any solutions to working with large Rhino files? Quote Link to comment
