I have got some very good and clear polygon (4sided) models, which i have to cut with boolean operations. After cutting, nearly all polys (not only the affected ones at the border) are divided into 3sided polygons. Well , after removing thousands of edges and freezing the model, i still have this huge model-operation-list in the explorer. Opening or copying takes a lot of time - it seems that xsi always has to remove the edges again?
Just a thought, did you try freezing your construction history? just select the object, and hit freeze
