Semi-newb in search of pro advice and help! (Light-Up Q's)

vizier

Hi all!

I am in a real pickle. I have a huge city I have modeled but I havent used SU in a while. I wanted a basic rendering proggie so I purchased lightup. The problem is I have no clue at all about light up and I dont know where to start. What I want to know is:

How can I reduce the size of the file I am working with? I am working on 300mb files and its a burden on my cpu.
How can I reset lightup? or how to remove it all together?
Can someone please help me with some very basic Lightup settings to get a "semi realistic" rendering? I really have no idea what to do with this and I just want something basic to get me started.

Hi Vizier,

I also really hate to send people away from these forums but when it comes to specific applications, best is to ask on their dedicated forums. Although you may happen to get answer here, too, if someone experienced with LightUp stumbles upon your topic, but you can definitely get answers over the LightUp Forums.
