re-importing large files always hangs

[rfollett]

I have worked with KS for years now and one thing it has always done in all releases 7,8,& 9 is the following.

Create model in rhino, send to KS. add all materials and render. save .bip file .

later I open the rhino file and make changes to geometry, I then open the KS .bip file and from within rhino I send again to KS.

I goes throught all the updates until the end and just hangs.... saying DONE... but it is not done.. it never gets to the setup stage..

anyone interested in giving me an answer?

Hello rfollett,

What version of Rhino are you using?
Also, can you tell me if you are using the KeyShot plug-in to import your updated file or are you importing it directly through KeyShot?
Lastly, how large is the image?

hello Erik,
working with both 5 & 6 rhino.. does same.
I use the plugin in rhino..
500mb files..

i see happen when I re-visit the next day, If on same day it is ok over and over again. But once close file and need to go back it seems an issue. Really painful if you have a large office file.. have to start again and re-apply all the materials

Thanks Rich
