      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):

            I noticed the double faces were on separate layers then the one below it. I deleted all of the "poly surface" (I think thats what they were called, I don't want to open the original again to find out) layers, now the model is much easier to use.

                  Great job! It's working great now.

                  BTW, there's still some purging that can be done and the option for shadows to be displayed "On Faces" is turned off.

                  Great model

                    There are a bunch of extra lines and missing faces but it is fun to play around with!

                      Don't try this with Sketchup, your machine will explode.

                      I converted the .skp to .3ds, imported into Vue, added displacement to every building and then added 2500 trees to Central park, rendered in 6m 35s, using a basic spectral atmosphere.

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

                                        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.

                                          1. scale is too small
                                          2. too much polygon count
                                          3. model is oriented in weird angle
                                          4. 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?
