Hi I'm stuck on this problem.

Houdini keeps blinking out on me due to the number of polys in the scene I think.

I've got large structure made from hundereds of intersecting cubes. I'm trying to free up memory and speed up render by removing the internal intersecting faces/prims/pints and just keep the ‘external’ surface. It a very irregular shape so bounding box delete hasn't worked.

There must be a way to collapse all the outside faces into a unified mesh. I just don't have the knowlege yet.

Very stuck on this, any help much appreciate as I am close to 3dBuzz ‘Battlecuiser’ deadline.

thanks ahead of time
