Entities, how many is too many?

[bender]

I am still working on my animation through the reading of a log file. As I am reading it, I am placing entities on the space in Sketchup. It starts off quite fast and gets progressively slower, until it is all very very slow. I am placing quite a bit of entities on the space, (100? maybe more). Is this too much? Is there a way around it? When placing the new object (entity), I use the add_instance method. What do you guys think?

Thank you as always. Bender

Hi. I forgot to add another simple question. If I have an entity object, say entities[0]...is there a way to retrieve that entities' present coordinates?

Something like: coordinate = entities[0].get_3dCoord

Is there such a method? How can I do this?

Thank you in advance!
