Hi Dennis

Thanks for the reply
The system I am using is an 850meg duron(not exactly state of the art)with
a GF4MX420 card under windows 98SE.
The model is already in AC3D format but it is a conversion from a DXF file using the PPE program.
Also in the conversion every surface is an individual object and it is not till
I get it into AC3D that I can optimise it again.
I find currently I can get a 850k file to load in about 3 minutes with about
25000 vertices but the 2 meg file takes some time.I could live with that if
I have to but if I am losing some of the surfaces in the process then it is not
worth the bother.
Thanks again for your help

Cheers
Innis
