Large models

[rootbender]

Hello,
I'm looking to download large Sketchup models (more than a million vertices or triangles).

I've been searching on Google warehouse, but I haven't found many large models.
Their search tools are not much helpful either.

If anyone can point me to one, I would be grateful.
Thanks.

Problem will be that those large models will probably exceed the upload limit of the warehouse !

And what is their upload limit?

I've seen some very large Sketchup models just under 10 MB (almost a million triangles).
But would like to find larger ones.

Does the model need to make sense, or are you just testing the navigability? It's not difficult to make a model with a million faces...just send a 100 segment circle around a convoluted curve, then Subdivide and Smooth the result.
Or you could just take one of those nearly-1-million-faces models and duplicate the contents a few times.

Yes, it's just for testing purposes. But, I would like to find real models that are actually used, like
a car with thousands of parts.

3dwarehouse probably isn't going to be the place for you. I'd suggest going to another 3d model website which isn't specifically for SketchUp, you'll find much higher poly (and quite often, higher quality) models. You might not fine 1 model off the bat that exceeds your limit, but if you start downloading a few of these high poly models you'll get there quickly.

A couple of my favorites
http://archive3d.net/ (little bit of EVERYTHING. the search feature isn't great and the quality is hit or miss but it's a good 1st place to look for most anything if you want it free)
http://www.3dmodelfree.com/ (tons of really great furniture models that are actually quite good quality. There are also some complete interior scenes which might prove useful for your tests)

The stated load limit is 10MB. When you upload the file it is compressed and you can also down load compressed files. I have not investigated but think that limit is compressed or un-compressed based on this http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=59462 . This link and others you can find by searching for large file size ftp sites. For course with large files you will run into the problems of errors even for high quality, low error rate , sites. That is why for some file down loads large pauses are at the end of the file while checks are made or some times the error check code ( The normal CRC , cyclic redundancy code , check code used is not adequate to find errors) is supplied to you and you have to do the check your self aka hash or md5 checks etc.
So when you say for test purpose I am at a lost what you are really trying to do. It is very will established large file size can be transmitted. Look at some of the file sizes of programs you down load.
If you want to just down load a large file then just do the search recommended in these postings.
If there is some other reason lets us know we maybe able someonecan help
