DR file size issue - possible solution

[pickinboy]

I don't know if this is a good workaround or not.

I just managed to get a 40MB file out to the DR slaves by taking the most complex NURBS stuff and putting them on layers - and then meshing each one by trial and error.

It might be something to do with trying to convert the NURBS and sending the mesh - a straight mesh might work fine.

I have some NURBS going too.

Good luck. Glenn

Re: DR file size issue - possible solution

Converting nurbs to mesh will decrease the ram usage, if you have ram shortage that will help you, but originally that has nothing with DR. I remember working with 90 MB interior nurbs models in DR.

well it seems to crap out approx. 500K polygons..
the joy of Bongo and aircraft interiors...

turned the jpgs to bmps it helps - but not much... maybe ut is RAM - pure and simple....
