entities limit?

Post by Arlene »

A model I am working on has 1534 entities. I am working in sketchup and want to export to SH3D but I tried to import it as furniture and waited 15 minutes but got nothing and then I tried to import it as a furniture library because it is so big but got nothing. It exports from sketchup into a DAE file no problem but I just can't get it into SH3D. Any ideas?
Thanks
(I have tried exploding it and removing several hundred entities and then tried to import it and still no luck)

It's not the entities count that make a limit, but the number of triangles / polygons they contain. The size of the DAE file is generally a good indicator too. How big is yours?

Some times .dae format not working properly.
Try again with .3ds or .obj format. [:-$]

It must have been the shapes. The dae file was not out of line with other files that have imported fine.
What I finally did was explode it and remove elements piece by piece sometimes in 8 pieces each and then am importing them and reconstructing them in sh3d. I am also looking to buy a more adequate computer.
Does anyone know if a basic non integrated graphics card would be okay or do I need to go for a Nvidia GTX 870m or the like???

If you have a DAE file that you can't import in Sweet Home 3D, I would be happy that you send it to [url=mailto:[email protected]]me[/url], so I can fix the bug if there is one.
