title: Can SCN file be too big?
body: <p>I’m developing an app for which I need to load a 3D object into the augmented world. I have managed to get a 3D model which I would like to use. The file was originally in a solidworks file format. I used the website I downloaded the 3D file from to convert the part I needed into an .stl file. I then used sketch up to convert this to a dae file. Now the issue is that the resulting file is 917mb big. When I move this into my Xcode project it hangs for ages and sometimes even tells me that my system as run out of application memory. To fix this I used Xcode to convert the .dae file into a .scn file. This has reduced the file size to 317mb but now the issue is that once I load it into my scene to show in the augmented world as soon as the camera sees the model the whole application freezes. I turned the statistics on and set the max frame rate to 120(I have an iPad Pro) and as soon as the object is seen the frame rates drop to 19fps. Does anybody know if there is something I can do to get my object to augment smoothly and stop the application from freezing. I don’t know what part of my application code I should put up so if you need anything to help with answering my question let me know and I will post the code which is needed. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
