Re: File is to large

Purge your file in SU.

You can also try to decrease the geometry by taking things out that won't be seen by the camera or affect a given scene (through either shadows/lighting/reflections/refractions). All the geometry will be loaded, whether it is "needed" or not, so anything that you can safely get out would help.

oke, is that the only way to make my moddel lighter. Can`t I make my moddel smaler by lowering the numer of geimetry`s in my moddel?

Re: File is to large

The problem with SU is that you can't really control too much about how many polys are created. So unless you deliberately go back and model things yourself so that they have fewer polys, then I think you're out of luck on that one.

As far as 2 pcs, probably not. You're really going to be limited by what can be initially parsed from the SU file, which won't take into account another machine. This initial parsing is going to probably take a while, since it is a single threaded operation, and chances are that its actually a lack of memory (which stems back to OS capabilities as well).

You could try with these ruby scripts: cleanup, cleanup_model, purge_all, simplify

There is also a purge unused in SketchUp under: Window-ModelInfo-Statistics

And always make a backup copy of your file before trying!
