Manhattan sketchup model
-
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.
-
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)
-
Were either of you able to purge then get it to behave?
-
If you are able to get it to work... would you mind posting the purged file?
-
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.
-
I couldn't even open the file (3.8 GHz processor, 2 Gigs of RAM)

-
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.
-
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
-
Could an Okino converter or something similar strip out the double faces?
-
Looks like it is done in Rhino (or another solid modeler) as often geometry is imported double (disconnected edges).
Probably the author forget to convert his model to a mesh and weld the edges.... -
Quite disappointing. I was sort of excited when I saw the original image. Anyone have a similar city model they'd like to share? I looked a bit on the warehouse but didn't run across anything very appealing.

I wonder if somone in the sketchup team has access to one? I am working on a game project and wanted to use a model like Manhattan to compare relative sizes of very large objects. Hope it's not too much of a big ask if anyone is listening.
If not, I will have a bash at tidying this model - but don't hold your breath...
-
I would be willing to clean the model but I can't get the damn thing to open... if someone can just clean it to where I can open it without sketchup crashing... i'll finish the rest!

I found this resource in the meantime:
And this utility may help to remove double-faces (haven't tested):
