Three Strategies for Reducing Your SketchUp File Size

[@WILLIAMKLEINSCHMIDT]

Great tips! I reduced from 26MB to 700KB - amazing! Even though I've used SketchUp for a long time, I was not aware of how much hidden stuff is being saved in the model.

Surprising, right? It's gratifying to see the file size shrink down!

great tips! Just to add, sometimes exploding heavyweight groups and components in your scene which themselves have lots of groups and components can help. You can still keep them in an individual group or component, you don't necessarily care about the hierarchy and you can even make them components first, save out an original in case you need it, then recursively explode them and be left with something with less weight and detail, and still have replicable fidelity if you need it - again following the instructions to purge after.

Thank you very much for those very helpful tips. Made me find out that in my house project a little decoration from the warehouse with 3 small cactus on the desk was over 2 million total in the CG Impact Report. Those extensions help a lot to make the file run better on my second device iPad Pro 2024. Channel subscribed of course :-) Great Work !
