You can use Marquee tool to show only portion of the floor plan/building.
In Image manu there are couple of settings used for degradation of 3D Window visualization quality. This will speed up your work but it's bad for any kind output.
And Open GL works faster sometimes
3D Window settings..
Elements to show in 3D...
Don't show the whole model all the time, just the part that you work on.

AC hangs up without actually working so I can't use OpenGL for models such as big as this one (closing in on 3-4 million polygons...).

Djordje shared this tip long time ago. Just point your camera towards empty spacy (meaning nowhere)
, additionally choose wireframe mode and save to .opt.Don't be afraid if you don't see your model in ArtLantis. It's also imported from ArchiCAD.
And I think you should decrease number of polygons somehow.
"TRIBUWhy don't you say sowrote:
I'm sorry I wasn't totally clear. Good advice you gave me: I will try pointing the camera to an empty space ( remember I did that a couple of years ago...must have turned senile...). I get a very large and detailed terrain model from AutoCAD on which I place my pretty over-detailed houses, that's why I get so many polygons. Right now my other computer is working on the ArtLantis file... I have to work all night anyway.
Still looking?
