      ah! No idea of original units!
      It's not my file ๐Ÿ˜‰
      And I have not Autocad ๐Ÿ˜’
      But enjoy that you can reload something โ˜€

        Well, it did come into SU. Interesting that the progress bar runs to 99% within less than a second and then it starts hanging there (but eventually loads the file). Now importing it in metres... Hold on!

          yes 99% but after? never more alas for me ๐Ÿ˜’
          In the import option better to keep "original drawing"?

            Well, it definitely seems to take longer (forever?) to import in metres now (still working). ๐Ÿ˜’

            Don't preserve drawing origin (generally) with CAD imports because if they are georeferenced (like mostly), they may get imported to somewhere (sometimes even hundreds of) miles away from the SU origin and you'll have all the OpenGL issues like clipping and distorting until you move everything back to the origin eventually anyway.


            My "right" CPU core is working hard and SU uses some 230 Mb of memory. ๐Ÿ˜„
            Nice model, BTW. Is that a particular church or just a "general"one?

              I use also Doublecad without success ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                OK, it's done. There are a couple of glitches like non-coplanar (and even missing) faces here and there (see attached) but overall it came through quite fine. Nice church, indeed.

                It's a bit more than 10 Mb now. Would you like it? ๐Ÿ˜„

                  So I was not enough patient ๐Ÿ˜„
                  Is there a particular protocol in Autocad for manage project for reload it in SU?

                    Mo9del more accurately than whoever made this model (see those glitches with the curved faces). Other than that, no (with 3D models at least). I've uploaded it to my server. Do you want me to send you the link?

                        Looks nice. These Medieval monks must have wasted a fortune of candles for that render! ๐Ÿ˜„

                          I have more info about the model ๐Ÿ˜‰
                          It was a 2 years ago model, and a "work model" so some pieces were around ๐Ÿ˜‰

                          Any idea about time importation / speed of processor ?
                          for determinate if it's a normal ratio "size of file / importation time"

                            Well, looking at the times of my answers, it took about half an hour to import. The machine is a Eurocom D700 T Enigma with a CPU is 3.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 (with hyperthreading but it doesn't matter in this case).
