Why does every STEP file lock up JigSpace?

I’ve imported a few .stp files into JigSpace. The first 2 locked it up immediately. The third one allowed me to manipulate for a minute then locked it up with a big pink screen of death. Any suggestions?

Hi Greaterluck - Welcome to the platform. :smiley:

While I cant say for sure without looking at the files in question, I believe it may be due to either the number of individual meshes in your file, or the overall number of triangles/polygons that make up your models meshes.

At JigSpace we recommend keeping your polycount bellow 500,000 triangles. We also recommend keeping the individual meshes (sub-objects) bellow 50.

Fortunately I believe we plan to release a masterclass covering the topic of CAD model optimization for JigSpace this week.

When it is released I will attach a link to the class bellow.
I hope it can be of help to you.

I hope the above Master Class can help you with optimizing your models for the Jig Workshop.

If you do still find you’re having issues with performance let us know and we’ll continue to try and help you solve this issue.

Best Regards
