Charlyboy

It(s possible to have the file with a 6.0 version
I'm using a sketchup pro 6
thx guys

remus

Hi Charly, could you PM me your email address? the file is to big to upload to SCF.

Charlyboy

sure:)

I'm so impress about the sketchup's community..
All the time someone is here to help.
Thx for all (users) and the sketchup's team
Hip hip hip?

I found this resource in the meantime:

http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/preview.aspx?ModelCode=1402

Someone has an account on it?
I had create a free one and I just sent some files (3ds) to have the acces to download some files like manhattan or another models
maybe we can share this account together to have much more model to upload and so more download models

sorry for the double post I forgot to edit

hello everyone
i have been digging around internet for more detailed model and came across
a 3ds file with much more detail from central park to union square area
(With topography!)
i'm having trouble converting the file to sketchup for number of problems.

scale is too small
too much polygon count
model is oriented in weird angle
everything is on one layer but with each building grouped

i tried optimizing the file in order to import it into sketchup but after
two hours of importing, it came to an error

can someone help me import this 3ds into skp format?

Will have a look.

nnnnghn...... This beast has a zillion triangles...Su consumes 1.35GB atm.

And the whole thing is slanted at an angle. Will take some work.

Edges: 1514167
Faces: 629920
Components: 1971

I'm still tidying up bordominc's version (thanks very much for that btw) - slow progress so far... so many reversed faces. Have tried to organise in C4D but with little success.

nightzombie

wow i cant believe you managed to import the file into sketchup!!
and its 1.35gb

thomthom

WEll,.. I imporetd it with inches as units, (or was it feets...?) so the whole model was about 300mm long... made it look really odd since SU don't handle really small numbers very well. So I started a new file and tried to import with units set to meters, but then I got an out of memory error. Will try again today witha freshly booted PC.

Mind you, it helps having 4GB RAM installed.

thomthom

Tried to import with meter units... Out of memory. It built up to 1.7GB, then fell down to 400MB where it started buil.ding up again til 700MB where it ran out of memory.

I'll try with 3DS max first I think.

I belive the main problem is the terrain here. it got a very high subdivision and lots of detail. I want to try to remove the terrain and import without it.

Someone has got the manhattan sketchup file with the 6.4.112 version plz??? I can't open it..(7.0 version is required)

Simon B

If anyone could recommend a good hosting site (zero pop-ups and no pron links preferable) I would be grateful.

Simon B

Charlyboy, would it work for you if I uploaded a version 5 of the model, so you can load into 6.4.112?

I've completed the tidy up using this great workaround from Moderator Jim:

One technique I remember from here is to assign a shortcut to Reverse Faces, then select the PushPull tool because it does auto-select on hover. Then, hover the PushPull tool over each face and hit the shortcut key - it makes quick work of it.

I've retained 99% of the geometry and there is a bit of tri-tesselation left over but some style settings can alleviate these.

just need to find to find a host site for the file...

Also that doesn't delete the file after a while (or when it hasn't been downloaded for a while).

http://manhattanairport.org/
manhattan airport project with this sketchup model! hahaha

Chris Fullmer

That site seem vaguely familiar, like there used to be something there.....I can't quite think of what it was though.

Seriously though, I'm sick to my stomach. I'm sorry to say it night zombie, but I hope your project crashes and burns. I'm currently under-educated about all the details of it, but that is my first gut reaction. I'm literally feeling a bit ill.
