VS 2017 Database Project failed to import database: An error was received from SQL Server while attempting to reverse engineer elements of type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.SchemaModel.SqlSpatialIndex: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I created a SQL Server database project in SSDT 17, Version 15.6.5. I was able to import a few small database. But failed to import our main database which is reasonably large size.

The import failed at Gathering column store indexes with the following errors: enter image description here

I also checked the SQL Server activity monitor, it was running the query below but it returned nothing when I try to run it manually:

I have also tried to change to connection timeout setup and no luck.

I had this problem too, even using the regedit settings for QueryCommandTimeout and resolutions to other similar errors. Probably not a "solution" but this is how I was able to work around this problem. I ran the SqlPackage tool from the command line and then imported the resulting DACPAC:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\140\DAC\bin\SqlPackage.exe" /Action:Extract /SourceConnectionString:"Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True;" /TargetFile:"path\to\database.dacpac" /p:CommandTimeout="0"

Note the /p:CommandTimeout="0". You may want to try large values for that before going to 0.
