Offset imported surfaces

Hi all,





I work a lot with imported iges surfaces. As I do operations on these surfaces, typically offset and copy the file size grows abnormally. Also any operation directly involving these offset or copied surfaces are really slow.


Somehow I feel that this problem is not constant. I have some parts/assemblies where everything seems ok, and then I have some where it is really bad. I can see on the ones that are really bad that the surfae grid of the surfaces in question is really dense.


I have tried to play around with the accuracy settings, but I found that really dangerous because it sometimes makes my model fail.


Does anyone have experience with this problem, how to avoid it and if possible how to fix it once it has happened?





Thanks,





Kris
