Large File Size After Creating Hanging Positions


Recommended Posts

When creating my pipe grid I followed the getting started guide by choosing "Use Geometry" when converting lighting pipes to hanging positions. This made the file size over 110MB. When using the "create symbol" option instead the file size is only 17MB. Is there an reason to stay with "Use Geometry" since it balloons the file size?  Thanks.

We recommend selecting "Use Geometry" for compatibility with Braceworks and MVR. Both systems rely on having unique geometry and identifiers inside of the hanging position in order to properly process the hanging position. If you are not using Braceworks or MVR as part of your workflow it's safe to select "Create Symbol".
