| 66mb file glitching.... | finMark | 4/19/12 8:33 AM | SketchUp Version:8 pro My architectural model is now 66mb and is barely workable (ie it takes an hour to draw a short fence). I have tried to fix it by grouping and hiding, purging layers but it still glitches. Running it on a six month old 64bit ma |
| Re: 66mb file glitching.... | Anssi | 4/19/12 10:04 AM | The only way to speed up a model that has too much geometry inside is to reduce the amount of geometry. Grouping and making repetitive things into components does not affect the amount of geometry SU has to process. Using components can make the disk |

Getting a significant reduction in model size by geo. reduction can be done but can be painful to do and the bang for ef |
| Re: 66mb file glitching.... | Anssi | 4/20/12 9:48 AM | Mac, Note that large textures usually do not slow SketchUp down appreciably, provided you have enough memory in your computer and graphics card to store them, they just make the file larger when saved. Alan Fraser demonstrated that beautifully once, |

| Re: 66mb file glitching.... | mac1 | 4/20/12 8:47 PM | Yep I know that. Just trying to help the OP with some suggestions just like you do. Instead of giving generalized sweeping comments I like to try to recommend specific things to do. They may or may not give the desired results. If all materials are |
| Re: 66mb file glitching.... | Anssi | 4/21/12 12:11 PM | Mac, The point that I was trying to make was that in SketchUp, reducing the geometry that the application has to process is about the only way to make a model run faster, as the question the OP was asking was specifically about performance.

As mac1's article in the Sage is an embedded doc, it could appear in both places... A form to collect system/performance info along with the spreadsheet data could be embedded too. Back when recomm |
