Hello
I am trying to upload a pretty big and complex model that I modeled in Catia V5R19.
When I try to upload, I get this message after the post processing.

3 days ago when I uploaded a previous version of this model, the upload and the post processing worked.

As you can see in the second picture the 3dxml file is 467 MB.
Also I use the upload system to 3dvia, because it converts my 3dxml to dae, so I can also import them properly in 3dmax (with textures), and even if the textures aren't 100% the same, it's easier to just apply the textures again in 3dmax.
Is there any way, to convert 3dxmls to dae files in a different way?
I tried koichisenada plug-in for 3dmax 2008, but it doesn't work properly, maybe because of the size of my model

Also I saw this thread

The problem is that I want to create a castel at a 1:1 scale
In CATIA menus: Tools -> Options -> Display -> Performance -> 3D accuracy
Fixed: From 0.01 to 10.0 high number = less details (Does not account for object size)
Proportional: From 0.01 to 1 high number = less details (Accounts for object size)
Is there any other way to convert 3dxml to dae file? I usually use the 3dvia upload for that, and then download the dae file, but for this model it doesn't want to work anymore.
Should I split my castel from catia, and upload it on parts? and only after that assembly all the dae files into 3dmax?
I want to use dae files because they also contain the textures files, and also the overall size is relatively small, from my 467MB 3dxml, it's around 10 MB.
Thanks for the support.
