                      I found this resource in the meantime:

                      favicon

                      (www.3dcadbrowser.com)

                      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?

                            nnnnghn...... This beast has a zillion triangles...Su consumes 1.35GB atm.

                            And the whole thing is slanted at an angle. Will take some work.

                              I'm still tidying up bordominc's version (thanks very much for that btw) - slow progress so far... so many reversed faces. Have tried to organise in C4D but with little success.

                                  WEll,.. I imporetd it with inches as units, (or was it feets...?) so the whole model was about 300mm long... made it look really odd since SU don't handle really small numbers very well. So I started a new file and tried to import with units set to meters, but then I got an out of memory error. Will try again today witha freshly booted PC.

                                  Mind you, it helps having 4GB RAM installed.

                                    Tried to import with meter units... Out of memory. It built up to 1.7GB, then fell down to 400MB where it started buil.ding up again til 700MB where it ran out of memory.

                                    I'll try with 3DS max first I think.

                                    I belive the main problem is the terrain here. it got a very high subdivision and lots of detail. I want to try to remove the terrain and import without it.

                                        If anyone could recommend a good hosting site (zero pop-ups and no pron links preferable) I would be grateful.

                                          Charlyboy, would it work for you if I uploaded a version 5 of the model, so you can load into 6.4.112?

                                          I've completed the tidy up using this great workaround from Moderator Jim:

                                          One technique I remember from here is to assign a shortcut to Reverse Faces, then select the PushPull tool because it does auto-select on hover. Then, hover the PushPull tool over each face and hit the shortcut key - it makes quick work of it.

                                          I've retained 99% of the geometry and there is a bit of tri-tesselation left over but some style settings can alleviate these.

                                          • just need to find to find a host site for the file...

                                            Also that doesn't delete the file after a while (or when it hasn't been downloaded for a while).
