Size of files...

Hi!

I have a little problem of size in Sketchup:

I have created a campus, with about 20 buildings, and the size of the file campus.skp is nearly 13Mb.

Then, I want to put each building in one file, so I delete all the campus except the building I want to keep, I save as building.skp, but the size of the file is approximately 11Mb!

Is there a way to obtain smaller files?

Thank you very much

Regards

Hi Bouillet,

Simply deleting parts of your model from the scene won't delete those parts (+materials, styles,layers whatnot) from the file, too.

Most of what's listed above, you can "purge" from their respective browsers (like the component browser) but to make it simple, go to Window > Model info > Statistics and at the bottom, find the "Purge all" button.

Maybe Menu Windows/Layers/Purge ?
