<p>OK?!</p>
<p>We have 12GB Memory. The good thing to know is that it generally works. I might install the program on another machine and have a look there. Rendering time is not so much of a problem.</p>
<p>Thank you for your support.</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

<p>Thanks. I received your file, but I didn't learn much.</p>
<p>I was able to load it and change a material on the bridge fairly quickly. It took about 10 to 30 seconds for me, depending on which material in the bridge I clicked on to apply the new material.</p>
<p>Like wise with the Map/Replace function on that dialog, it took less than 1/2 a minute to replace 6 materials and update the model in SketchUp.</p>
<p>My laptop has 32 GB of memory. Maybe that's the difference?</p>

<p>Rendering is taking forever though. Over a 1/2 hour to extract and load the data, and it's been 45 minutes and is only 87% through the first pass. </p>
<p>Seems like it's bogged down by those "visible beam" spot lights. They can really slow the rendering time down.</p>

<p>The "Map/Replace" function ist in the same dialog as "Select Material to Place"? Am I right?:</p>

<p>This dialog takes 9 minutes alone on my computer and when you replace a material it takes another 6 minutes.</p>
<p>So there is not much of a difference.</p>

<p>The nice thing about that "Select Material to Place" dialog is that it will loop through a component (or group) and place the material on all of the faces in the component that it finds with the same original material.</p>
<p>I can see where that would take a long time for a component that has so many surfaces.</p>
