I'm presuming he is large-sized with monkey grip because otherwise I can't see how it would be possible for him to wield such a weapon.To more appropropriately answer your question, the greatsword picture in the 3.5 PH shows the Greatsword to have dimensions of about 2.5 to 3 inches wide at the blade and about 1 foot wide at the cross guard. The sword is about 6 feet long however. Using a generalized extrapolation that huge creatures are roughly 3 times as tall as medium creatures and their weapons are proportional, a huge greatsword would be about 8 to 9 inches wide, 3 feet wide at the cross guard, and 18 feet long. This last dimension is probably the dimension your DM is using to reason why the sword would not fit. You could probably bring it in lengthwise, but you'd be hard-pressed to swing it, so why bother? It would be pretty cumbersome to carry around period, much less manuever within confined quarters.</blockquote>
