Hello people,

I'm having some troubles with a model for the architectural office i'm working at. It's a model of a 10story-building, divided in a lot of components and groups. It's not the biggest project i've ever been working on (91 mb), and specs of my pc are pretty much the same with every model I created for the office. Still, this model (4,4 mb) doesn't respond when i unhide the entire building (all floors on top of each other) and all its beauty.

So I'm forced to work in floor-components (with appartment's as seperated components within the floor-component) with only a facade of a brick-texture and models of the windows+doors. It's not that complex. I'm trying to figure out where the problem is, but was unable to find it yet. I see in the Statistics that I'm having 17000 groups and only 15 textures. I also changed the anti-alising to 0 (instead of the normal 4), but that doesn't work either. They entire project needs to be rendered with extension Vray, but I don't think the problems lies there.

The weird thing is that Sketchup keeps loading and loading and loading when I unhide the entire building, but the processor and memory on the pc doesn't show any spikes.

What can I do? What is exactly to blame? The amount of groups? It's actually a lot I'm realising now, more then any bigger project (in mb) I created. I'm looking forward to hearing from your solution to make my Sketchup-drawing 'workable'.

Greetings,
