I am modelling an injection moulded part with lots of draft and some reasonably complex surfaces, but nothing over the top.. Model was getting very slow so I got it to a stage where I had all the outside surfaces as a solid model and could shell the part.
I thought to speed up the process I would export a step model and import it back into a new part to finish off the rest of the part. Dumb solid effectively
When I import the STEP model back into Onshape I can no longer shell it, even though I could before I exported the same geometry.
Frustrating!!!!!

However, this shouldn't be an issue that you have to try and work around. Have you logged it with the feedback tool? I have experienced slow models in the past, sometimes it because they have got on a server in a different part of the world to where I am working.
