Re: Importing Inventor Into 3ds max?
The reason it is slow is because the polygon count on the IGES models is VERY high. Normally what I do when I import .IGES files into Max, I will use the "Optimize" modifier. This will cut out unnecessary polygons in the model. It takes a little bit of playing with to understand how much to optimize by the model, but it can help a lot. If you optimize it too much, it will start to take out the important polygons on the model and will distort the geometry.
