Manhattan sketchup model

nightzombie · 25 Jan 2009, 20:17

From what i remember, this is a sketchup model of Manhattan that I got this from sketchup forum from http://www.sketchup.com back in version 4. I looked through google sketchup forum but couldnt find the original post. This is not the most accurate model of manhattan but it comes handy when i needed 3d model of the city for my project.
file is about 27mb and credit goes to whoever made this model.

zombie,

would you please post the complete link to the model? the link above just leads to the google skp site.

nightzombie · 26 Jan 2009, 21:48

The link to the skp file is right underneath the image

I tried to download it but for some reason it timed out and it refuses me to try again by citing that my IP has already downloaded file and cannot retry unless i become a premium member, any other link?

I'm downloading it right now with no problems...

But when I try to open it, it causes Sketchup to bog down... it's only 27.7mb... I have files larger than this that open in a couple of seconds...

I can't get it to open either.

FenS · 27 Jan 2009, 07:37

download went fine (first had to wait 2 minutes),
but after opening it doesn't react anymore (or i'm not patient enough)

I let it try to open overnight at work on my 3.0ghz processor w/ 2gigs of ram. It was open when I got here but my computer was frozen...

I'm planning to buy a new laptop at the weekend; let's see how 4Gb of RAM tackles this ...

I doubt it will help. The file must be corrupted. I have a number of files much larger than this and they open fine.

Actually I've opened up the file fine. It did take about 2mins to load. I have Core i720 and Quadro FX3700 on my desktop, which helped.

I have also opened it, but it makes sketchup freeze up for about 5 min on my computer (Q6600)

boofredlay · 28 Jan 2009, 06:15

Were either of you able to purge then get it to behave?

bubbalove · 28 Jan 2009, 17:32

If you are able to get it to work... would you mind posting the purged file?

chango70 · 28 Jan 2009, 19:31

It is behaving strangely! None of the buildings caste shadow except for the bridges and some of them have the trianglated geometry that reminds of 3ds import... I'll try and see if I can clean it up.

Gaieus · 28 Jan 2009, 19:39

I couldn't even open the file (3.8 GHz processor, 2 Gigs of RAM)

chango70 · 28 Jan 2009, 23:21

Oh wow. This can't be a native sketchup model!? It has 2 surfaces for everything!! and missing surfaces for large part of the gound...
This will take too long to clean up sorry guys.

nightzombie · 29 Jan 2009, 03:50

i think the person who made the model
converted it from some other application.
i had no idea it was double faced

it usually takes my laptop about 5 minutes of freezing sketchup to load

Simon B · 29 Jan 2009, 12:42

Could an Okino converter or something similar strip out the double faces?
