I am working a lot with large landscape files in Sketchup. With large I mean large as in some 800000 edges and 500000 faces. The size of the file discussed here is near 850 MB. The problem I face is that panning and zooming in Sketchup is very slow under these circumstances, a fact I have - up to n…

[image] JoNoS: With edge profiles set I got a frame rate of 1.2375 rates per seconds. Without edge profiles I got a frame of 58.3658 rates per seconds This is an enormous difference!!! Is this really sensible?? Maybe someone at Trimble should have a look?? Architects and Designers need to…

I have now recreated the .dae file (from Sketchup 19.2.222) and verified that Blender does correctly import and render it (in 25 secs). Importing the same .dae file into Sketchup, still takes some 30 minutes “busy wheel” spin, after which the Sketchup application starts to respond very slow (indep…

Collada is a text XML file. It’s quite possible Blender has better text parsing than SketchUp does.

[image] monospaced: Nothing at all. Blender is simply more efficient and optimized than SketchUp. When comparing certain things in Sketchup and Blender - as I have attemped to do here - I always find it difficult to know whether the comparison is “fair” or not. Which is certainly illustrated …

[image] JoNoS: There are certainly abilities in Sketchup which I like and rely on, and I do not yet know whether the same abilities are present (in the same way) in Blender. Absolutely. Totally different market and purpose behind them. I use sketchup exclusively because it’s made for what I d…

I destroyed the building, but the terrain now runs well on my meagre mac… JNS_Terrain_Test_02_01.skp.zip (6.0 MB) [reduced_terrain] couple of layers in there as well… john

[image] john_drivenupthewall: I destroyed the building, but the terrain now runs well on my meagre mac… Cool! But in this context, this is a little bit beyond the point. Simplifying the data file affects both Sketchup and Blender alike, and has nothing to do with Sketchup vs Blender. I was r…

[image] JoNoS: And the terrain details appears all gone… not really sure why… [image.png] That’s what millions upon millions of closely spaced Edges look like from a distance. • Turn off Edges OR Edit the Component • Switch to Wireframe • Select the Edges and tick both Soft and Smooth …

IMHO: Blender handles poly’s far better than SU, but SU handles geometry far better than Blender… this is primarily due to the ‘stickiness’ required for SU’s inferencing engine that facilitates the fast nature of it’s ‘sketch’ modelling… to take advantage of SU, you have to limit it’s inferencing…
