    I exported a portion of a world map to work from and it keeps crashing.
    I understand if I do the "remove nodes" command, it will help. Is there another way to do this without getting rid of the coastline detail?
    Thanks!

    SIMPLIFY is better than Remove Nodes [REDN] beacuse it uses an algorithm to remove nodes rather than just drop half of them which generally won't impact the visual look as much.

    Apart from that, not really. If things gets too complex, the only way to deal with it is to remove complexity. (Of course, this assume the problem is caused by too much detail in the first place)

    Thanks, Monsen. I looked for the Simplify command, but can't find it, either in help or the tome.
    Any other ideas on why it's crashing a lot?

    SIMPLIFY is a command you type in on your keyboard, which should appear on the command line at the bottom of your screen.

    The command is covered briefly in this blog article by Remy Monsen:

    Have something similar, I am trying to remove nodes from an entity so that the bit map fill can work without crashing. The enteties involved have around 2500 to 3500 nodes. Both remove nodes and simplify delete the entire entity so effectively reducing nodes to zero. I can trace over them manualy but that is a pain, any ideas?

    Sounds like there is something weird with the entity then, that isn't nearly enough nodes to really be an issue.
    What you can try doing is to automatically trace it using the TRACED command (just type it on the command line), this command allows you to automatically trace an entity, with built-in simplification options.

    Thanks I'll give that a try.

    The TRACED command did the trick, thankyou very much. Weird why the other commands did not work.

    Great. I couldn't say why the other commands failed unfortunately,.
