    I'm trying to import fairly large (160MB) and fairly complex sketchup file, that my set designer sent me, in to Capture 2018., but... I'm not able to do it. First problem is that I can't change 'Drawing unit' before dropping the set in to one of the Capture views (the section is 'grayed and non accessible') and if I try to 'alighn' the scenery size with my stage by changing dimension of imported object in 'Selectet items/Drawing unit', I loose 3/4 of its layers.... and after that Capture crashes with notification that it encountered a problem with my graphic card. Btw.. it does that a lot.. crashes with an 'Capture encountered a problem with your graphic card' notification

    Also, I kind of don't understand why I, if I import .dxf cross section of my theatre, stick it on to my 'proscenium box light rig', I can see and randomly rotate it in any of Captures wireframe views, but I loose wast mayority of what is drawn in dxf, when I export it in to Presentation file...

    So... because I'm new and unexperienced Capture user, my questions would be: Is there a limitation in size or complexity of imported models? Am I doing something wrong while importing? And, what could be the hardware reason causing crash of the program?

    My system is:

    Asus GL703GE/i7 8750H/16GB of RAM/Nvidia GF GTX 1050 Ti

    Tnx for any kind of repy or thought,

    Andrej
