Experiencing an issue when trying to open a Solidworks assembly. See screenshot.
Monitoring system when attempting to open the file, there is no memory usage spike, very little system memory is being used.
It is a large assembly. I can open the same file, however, if exported to STEP or IGES.

I really need to preserve the assembly structure, though, so those export options are not ideal.

System is 64bit, 32gb RAM, i9 processor

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Addition- Rhino also “soft crashes” when trying to open the assembly- ie; “freezes” and has to be shut down through task manager and restarted.

Hello - if we can have the assembly and any part files that go with it, please send to tech@mcneel.com, with a link back here in your comments.
Please also run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Email sent, thank you Pascal.

Hello - does this happen if the two plug-ins above are disabled in Options > PLug-ins page (and Rhino closed and restarted)?

Yes, I tried disabling those. I also disabled space mouse…

This is almost certainly a Rhino problem. I have the same issue now when I try to initiate a render with V-ray.
Rhino freezes. The command line then “seems” to function, ie; accepts commands and commands are shown on the comand line, but Rhino is actually frozen and commands aren’t executed. The model can still be manipulated in the graphics view.
