      Dear Sir,

         I m new to sketchup and my job needs to use sketchup to have interior design.   My computer config is  E5 Xeon  4650 x 2, supermicro motherboard, 32G Ram ECC, 256 G SSD, 1TB harddisk.  gigabyte GTX660..  My problem is that when I import a 3ds files to sketchup. I cannot pan and orbit it easily..  Can I just upgrade the workstation card to improve it.. If ok, I will import many 3ds files for render.   Vray 1.6 for sketchup.  I dont know about 3dmax program.
      

      Please help.

      David

        As far as I know Sketchup lacks when you have big files and your setting,I think, is all you can give to Sketchup to perform at its best .

          I believe the graphics card won't make much difference in sketchup.
          I have two virtually identical computers - I running with a K4000, the other with a GTX680. Both perform equally well with sketchup.
          My understanding is that CPU speed (which you have) is the key thing for sketchup, and of course optimising your models to reduce complexity. T

            Don't spend that much money on a card unless you're into other software like 3DMax or something to that effect. Get a GTX580, a GTX670 or a GTX770 for around $350 and you'll do wonders.

              I couldn't wait for all of you to reply 😲 I bought one K4000 to test. The result is a little bit faster . It is fine, I will learn 3dmax soon. I hope this card can help... The rendering speed is better.

              I need to test more and give u a report on it..

              thank you for all of you opinion.!

              Thank you
