Hi,

I was trying to design a project based on a gameboy shell, so I went online and downloaded a .step file of the shell. I then proceeded to unstich it so I could remove unwanted holes. After restitching the object, the whole file became extremely slow. Even selecting a face took 30 seconds to compute and I got the error: There was a problem combining geometry together. I tried exporting the file as a .step file and reopenning it in a new file. This removed the lag but I still couldn't cut the body when extruding. The rare times where I managed to cut the body with an extrude function, it would extrude with a slight angle up.

I am very confused and would like to find a solution to these issues

Original file with lag is attached below and named: GB v16

Exported non-laggy file is also attached below and named: Shell v1

Thanks for the time and help

You posted in the Raster Design forum and RD can't do what you describe. What software are you using, so we can get this moved to the correct forum?

Yes I know my mistake the same question can be found in the fusion 360 topic and I already reported this one to the moderators which from what I understood is the only way to delete a question.

I am not exactly sure what the reason for the lag is other than perhaps a long timeline.

You could have simply deleted the timeline, instead of exporting it as a step file.

 

When de-featuring I usually don't even turn on the timeline, so I don't clutter up the timeline with unnecessary features. Only when I am done de-featuring and start making edits that I want to be able to be parametric do I turn the timeline on. 

 

You can still de-feature without adding features to the timeline, by making the edits in the base feature.
