Jeff,

I've purged unused but this doesn't help. Anything I do is very slow: selecting, moving objects, changing my perspective, copy/paste, etc. Even closing a file takes a while.

I have a dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5 with 4 GB RAM. I just installed SketchUp 7 to work with some new files and it is impossibly slow. The files are large (30 - 40MB), but even in tiny files, the beachball just keeps spinning and spinning. How can I speed it up? Is it really only meant to run on the Intel Mac?

Thanks.

Thanks. That got it down to 50 something k. Great!

I have a file that seems to get larger whenever I save it. It's at 9.9 MB now. If I select everything and copy and paste to a new file it's only 80 kb! I had to recreate 2 scenes, which was a bit of a pain. If it was a more complicated file it really would have been a lot of work. How do I get the file size down?
