3DS models increases file size, drastically .

[rasa]

Is there any way to reduce the file size of a 3ds model (downloaded off the internet) when imported in to sketch up. In its self the 3ds file in relatively small but imported in to sketchup it becomes ridiculously big. The ‘Cleanup’ plug-in (by Thomthom) helps, but I would like to know any other way to further reduce the file size.

Thanks.

Pretty much the same rules as making any SU model smaller. If it's a repetitive model you can turn geometry into instances of eachother. It depends entirely on what's making the file size so big though. Maybe you can post a screenshot of the model.
