Can`t render the only one file

[flee_cg]

File is about 14М. Rendering of the other files of the same size is pretty fast (settings are all the same also). PC is Q6600 Quad, 4Gb RAM.
The file I`m asking about was rendering fine up to this afternoon. Suddenly render became extremely slow (black display with few dots after 15minutes) I tried to copy\paste model to another file and import materials in that file-same problem. Also I tried to delete part of the model, that isn`t needed for the scene - the same.If changing engine to Photon Map, for example, SU fails.

What can I do with it? Maybe reduce materials (I have about 30 in this file after purging)? Or there may be some bug in the model? How can i fix it then?

hard to tell..
Did you reboot the machine ?
Are the settings the same for all models ? the resolution ?

I would say to try and remove or check some of the newly added geometry to the file. It would seam like there's a weird geometry thing that is slowing things down to a hault. (crazy geometry can do that)

Answer is YES to all

Does it mean, that if i switch "fix problems" in Model info - Statistics, this "weird geometry" will be gone? (I switched, but SU reported, that there was no problems) Or do I need to delete latest changes completely? It would be very hard(((

I'm not sure how it works in SU. I know in Rhino you can check for bad geometry, but I don't know if there is a comparable tool in SU.
