I just imported a 10 Mb file in SketchUp and dropped it in place in 9 seconds. How large is the model file you’re trying to add the component to? ---

Tried the same in a new document and no problem. There is something wrong with the file Im working with. Have to copy paste to a fresh document. ---

> [@joakim.stamming](#): > > Have to copy paste to a fresh document. That might work. You could try purging unused stuff from your file first to reduce the bloat. It’s generally advised that you import from the 3D Warehouse into a separate file so you can examine the component and fix it if needed before you add it to your project file. ---

We recently found something that causes this. The problem will happen if you are downloading a model with a lot of materials, into your model, which has a lot of materials. Downloading into a new document may get the component quicker, but when copying and pasting into your full model the paste may take a while. Open the Colors palette, and change what it is showing, to anything except Colors in Model. Then try downloading from 3D Warehouse. ---
