slow upload of 1.92 GB .sat file

Is this file too big? I set the units in Fusion to feet. This is a true scale model of a building, with its original Revit units in feet/inches. When I uploaded the file the activity bar isn't even moving....

First of all, are you sure that 1.92 Giga Byte is the size of your file ?

I'v dealt with models of fully automated assembly lines in Solid Works with ten thousand+ cmponents and dont remember even that being in the gigabyte range. 

If I remember correctly the ulpoad proceees in Fusion is broken in two main parts, both of them can be time consuming.

The first part is the actual transfer of the data . Naturally that depends on your connection speed. In most cases the upload speed is much slower than the downoad speed. I have 65 Mbit of download but only about 5Mbit of upload speed, which is actualy a pretty fast Charter Communications cable connection. So if yoou have a slowe connection such as DSL expect a loooooong data transer time.

The second part is that fusion then needs to convert the non-native data format into the Fusion 360 format. At that file size I'd also expect that to take a very long time, if it even works.

As I said, 1.92 GB is enourmous!

That is pretty big. Can you get a STEP file version or reduce the Revit design into several sub assemblies that you put back together after translation?
