Just fought with a model that was taking 3-5 minutes to load. SUPro boots fine, just could not load this model today without 3-5 minutes of (program not responding) message. Tried troubleshooting per many many threads here, including graphics drivers, Windows 10 updates,… Turns out it was a set of…

You can add a comment if you navigate to the component/model through your browser if the author hasn’t disabled comments. Are you referring to this component ? It does have some issues. It’s generally considered good practice to open components in a separate SketchUp file, inspect, and repair them …

Indeed, that’s the culprit. Designing a large home on the fly, trying to draft at the speed of designer’s thoughts, so I’ve been hitting the 3D warehouse heavily lately. Discovering all you’ve recommended is very good advice. I’ll take these steps in the future. Thanks!

To flag a model on the warehouse, click the ‘flag’ icon under the model title on the model page. [FlagModel]

I urge people to be broad-minded when it comes to judging a model to be “bad.” It might be bad for your purpose but ideal for someone else’s purpose. One area I’m particularly sensitive to is level of detail. A little machine screw modeled with 100,000 faces is not needed for most situations, but j…

Agree completely. That’s why I (and others) always recommend that you download to an empty model and examine what you got to decide whether it is suitable for how you will use it. If you are modeling a house, a sink with over 50000 edges in just the drain strainer is not needed, but if you want a …

[image] jTr: they caused several bug-splats when I attempted to re-scale them yesterday It’s much faster when you scale the components, rather than the raw geometry. Scaling raw geometry gave me the spinning beach ball, but I could scale many components at once without lag. [2] If you don’…

Can you share the url, so we can teach users how to avoid these? There’s general tips, but it’d be nice to be specific.

I guess this is the role I’ve assumed on the 3D Warehouse, is to take models that I like, but are a pain to download, and “purge” them of excess materials, styles, or polygons. If anybody has seen a “Train Repair Guy” on the 3D Warehouse, that is me. :grinning::grimacing::expressionless: …

Barry, the leg the OP was referring to is this one:

When uploading to the 3D Warehouse from within SketchUp, you are prompted to purge the model, maybe also suggesting to ‘resize materials’ could help optimizing files? [image.png] https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/material-resizer
