Interior Lounge Tips Please

WTF, over 37000 component instances. Are we counting every stitch in the fabric or what? Is there a whole house connected to this room?

If you are dealing with the whole house, you might want to copy the file, rename it living room and the knock out everything but the one room. If you have 37000 components in that room alone, then something is wrong. Have you purged unused components?

Yes actually it was the whole house I was referring to. I have purged unused components....just found out a few of tips which were to :

Use wire frame mode when rotating/editing a large object as this works much quicker.
Use smaller bitmaps/jpegs for materials when rendering.
Use classes (cant believe I didnt use this before!).

I am the last person to speak to about programming, but I will give it a try. The concept of classes in programing is to organize things by shared characteristics. For instance all lumber is rectangular and long. So you can define a class called lumber. Now each time you want a board in your drawing you refer back to your class definition and just add the unique elements like length and type of wood. By storing that in the class and not in each individual instance of a board your code become much shorter and more concise. This decreases the program overhead that has to be handled by your computer. If your not a coder, then just remember class is an inherited characteristic that can be used by subclasses.
