taliho Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hi- I'm working on a 2 story residence, overall 3000sf, and at completion of CD my file size is 376MB - thats huge. The program is sluggish, and has a hard time regenerating. I'm usually at 100MB for this size project I copied the file and carefully went through purging and deleting to find the memory hogs: On my title sheet I have an isometric in hidden line rendering, no sketch, no textures, no backgrounds - when I deleted it i dropped 130MB (that is totally out of whack, right?) I then deleted each of 4 building elevations and found the front and back were 20 MB each, and left and right were 45 MB each. Also, just hidden line. (from the same design layers - why would they be different?) Sections, derived from the drawings were only about 0.5 MB each So? Is there a lighter way to generate elevations? This hasn't been a problem in the past. I also tried modify>convert_to_lines on the iso - didn't work. I lost some of the lines and it only dropped by a neglible amount. Without the iso's and elevations and sections - the file is 72 MB (is that considered large without all the renderings? shall I continue tinkering?) Thanks for your ideas.
