      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...

          download went fine (first had to wait 2 minutes),
          but after opening it doesn't react anymore (or i'm not patient enough)

          Qué sais je? there is still so much to be learned...

            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. Manhattenv1.jpg

                                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:

                                            favicon

                                            (www.3dcadbrowser.com)

                                            And this utility may help to remove double-faces (haven't tested):
