Slow Model

[Infrared digital]

I have a model of approx 130,000 faces but, when I move, rotate, open, save etc.. it takes 10 to 15 minutes to carry out the command.

The model was made by someone else in Acad with an unnecessary amount of detail but grinds to a halt on the simpliest of tasks. I have optimised it as much as possible, deleting geometry which is not needed.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to possibly fix it ?

Spec: Dual 1.9 processor AMD, 3Gb ram, 128 Nvidia Quatro graphics card. Max 6 SP1

Thanks

some times when importing models, the vertices are not welded.
this creates problems with some video drivers.

It can also be that the model was linked to the dwg in acad, this makes a model terribly slow.

Thanks for your replies.

A work around has been found !

When bringing the geometry in before as individual entites the machine was reduced to a sniveling wreck but, when imported with the geometry combined by layer - it works fine.

I don't usually work this way but, if I can get on with the model - excellent.

Thanks again for your help
