Blank viewport in large CityEngine scene

I've imported 2 large (>1 GB) OBJ models of buildings from 3ds Max into CityEngine. After importing, I've done a 'Cleanup Shapes' operation on the objects to try to reduce their complexity a bit. Now whenever I open a viewport in the scene, it comes up blank. After I imported the first big model, the viewport froze, but now it has trouble displaying anything. Trying to frame different layers does nothing, though the rest of CityEngine is responding all right. I have over 2000 objects in the scene now, and over 6 million polygons, though that was counting before the blank viewport, which displays none of that information.

In other scenes with fewer objects, the viewport loads all right. Do I just have too many objects? If so, is there a way I can reduce the complexity of these objects? My eventual goal is to export this scene as a Web Scene, which I've done without the large objects just fine.

I'm running CityEngine 2014.1 on Windows 8 with 12 GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4600 card with 1792 MB memory. Thanks for any help--I'm very new to CityEngine.
