      I have a large model size (25MB) and I am wondering if there is a way to be able to see the size of the various components and items within the model?

      I've exported as a .dae file to see the texture file sizes but It's the actual size of the parts of the model I'm interested in.

      Any suggestions much appreciated. ๐Ÿ˜„

      Thanks.

          Sort of.

          Assuming you have a train, delete everything but the locomotive. File/Save As ... locomotive.skp. Load again. Delete everything but the caboose. File/Save As ... caboose.skp. And so on.

          File/New. File/Import locomotive.skp. File/Import ... through caboose.skp. After each import, click the origin. Each piece will be a separate component in the completed model. Clicking the origin will reassemble perfectly.

          And each piece will be much friendlier to work with than the 25MB full model.

          Trick: open locomotive.skp. Create a layer named locomotive. Select all. Use Entity Info to move everything into the locomotive layer. Save. When you import, your completed model has a layer named "locomotive" with a single component, also named "locomotive".
