    Hey All,

    I’m fairly new to Cinema 4d but been working on a 3D architectural building.. Having finished all the modelling I have merged all the levels together to create a four floor building.

    However the 4GB file is struggling to load now and usually kills my iMac. The file uses lots of clones for the tables and desks in each individual office.

    Any suggestions on what to do to get it working again? I plan to animate into different areas of the building but at the moment I have to wait 20 mins to even see the model!

    As you can see, there is a lot going on in the file as it has offices with chairs and tables in.

    Points: 61905718
    Polygons: 60318597
    Objects: 90354

    Thanks

    Not much to go on. Sharing the file is kind of out, so what do you mean by “lots of clones”, are they Instances, Mograph clones or just many copies of an original?
    How much detail is in the parts/objects that is unnecessary because it won’t be seen?
