      I have a file that is 27k. I open it, use the purge feature in Model info/statistics just to be certain my model is optimized. However when I re-save it, the resulting file is 38k. Any ideas on what could be happening?
      Thanks

        Was the original file created in an older version of SketchUp?

          Originally yes ... but I've been working on that file in SU 2016 for a couple months now. So, to clarify, the 27k file has been opened and saved from SU 2016 for a while now.

            10K isn't much. It's probably the embedded thumbnail image changing on each save. You can disable it in the Model Info > File dialog.

            You can miminizse the thumbnail size by pointing the camera off into blank space then save the file. That is, if you don't need the thumbnail preview.

            Hi

              My bad. What I meant by 27K & 38K was 27,000 KB & 38,000 KB respectively. (Or to be precise, 27,957 KB then 38,460 KB after purging and resaving).

                are your Styles all showing as up to date?

                if not, SU stores both [with and without changes]...

                it can make a big difference...
