How analyze .skp content / file size?

LEGOsketcher

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a plugin that lets you analyze what a Skp. file is made of and what takes up file size. E.g. I have taken over a huge .skp file and want to check if it's large because the textures were saved in high res without compression.

window > model > statistics let's you only see how many textures/ polygons etc are but not the size.

In a perfect world, I'd find a plugin that reduces all textures to max 1024 pixels and compresses them...

Thanks guys!

Start with Goldilocks

I'm not aware of any such "auditing" plugin for materials. You can, however export any suspect images from the Materials palette, resample them smaller in PShop or whatever, then import them back in...again using the Edit function in the Materials palette.
You can also edit the materials in the skp directly without any import/export. You just need to tell SU what Image Processor to use in Preferences > Applications. Both functions can be accessed by r-clicking the required swatch in the In Model tab.

If I'm not mistaken, someone wrote a script (TIG?) to mass-export materials from a file to a folder.

Thanks Alan - that's exaclty the process I am going through. Just painful to check each texture individually.

Will checkout Goldielocks. Thank you guys!

For what it's worth, I've often noticed that a skp file is often far more than the sum of its parts.
In other words, you can purge and forcibly delete all materials from a file, so that it's just pure geometry, then check the size of that geometry file and add it to the total file size of all the image files contained in the original skp.
You occasionally get a file that is quite ludicrously larger than that sum total. From what I can tell from all my work with organic shapes, SU's very quirky UV mapping system devotes a heck of a lot of data to mapping anything that isn't just the run-of-the-mill bricks on a wall/tiles on a floor.
