S3D crashes slicing bit complex >30MB STL-File

Hi everyone!

Thank you for great this 3D-slicing software!

I got a problem with a big stl-file with arround 30 MB data.
The stl shows a complex mesh-cube. if i like to slice it, s3d crashes or run in an deadlog.

I got a powerfull windows machine using x64 version with 6core and 32gb ram and win 7 x64 - i think that isn't the problem.

Does anyone can help me?
Thank you very much!

actually ive seen more crashes happen due to insufficient graphics cards or graphics card memory. what kind of graphics card do you have and the memory on it? are the drivers updated?

Surely the 30 MB as such are not the reason for your crashs, I know someone who operate with 600 up to 900 MB.

An unsufficient graphic card may be, but also is it possibly an issue of the construction of the object. To see the object fine on the screen of the CAD-program and slice it, are very different things. May be a single line, forgotten inside, thats enough.

If you have the possibility to share the object in dropbox ... someone can test the object on his system.
Also it ist very helpful to know the factory-file (>>> FILE>>> Save as ...)
