Mms file type

I'll try and explain it again. I imported contour shp files to make a surface. Surface and dwg file got very large. The dwg was about gig. Saved the dwg. During this process a mms file was created in the same directory as the dwg. I exited the dwg, rebooted my computer and opened the dwg again.

The mms file, which is about meg, was still in the same directory as the dwg but there is no surface. It is gone. I am not going to start over again as Civil 3D doesn't seem to handle large files very well. Will probably create it again in GIS software.

I'd not heard of mms files before, so I went to the Help Section Jay's link. Help is kinda vague on the subject and offers no information on what to do with the mms file other than keeping it in the same directory, which you're already doing. When you say the surface is gone, do you mean that the surface is not showing up in the drawing, or that the surface isn't even listed in the Prospector Tab anymore.

With a file size that large, even if you're using a beast of a SuperComputer, you might have to wait a long time until it shows up. The surface in the dwg is gone but it does show up in the prospector. I tried to update the surface thinking that maybe it would get the data from the mms file but no luck.

I've given up on the project and done it in GIS software. Thanks for your input. When you say "I exited the dwg," do you mean you Quit the drawing without saving. I could see that causing the situation you're describing. If the drawing was not saved after the. The drawing would not "remember" it should look for the file. I've had. I've read that certain method of importing surfaces from GIS software can lead to very large surfaces. I only work with raw data so I don't have direct experience with that.

I have. Created from LAS files. It does make things run very slowly. I have multiple surfaces with varying dencities so that I don't have to deal with the large ones that often. I use DRefs also. I wonder why. The Help Section hints that there are differences between standalone Map and the Map part of C3D, but I've never seen an in-depth listing of the differences. I tried to download Map, just to see what differences there might be, but after several hours of failure after failure, I gave up.
