File Crash - reduce file without opening it?

vansm · November 17, 2022, 8:32pm

Hi there! I have a file that I need to work on, but every time I try to open, it crashes! I think the file is too heavy (113MB), and I can’t open to purge and try to reduce the file. Can someone help me? Is there a way to reduce the file without opening it? I also tried using Sketchup Web to reduce it but doesn’t open either. urgh

Share the file and we’ll see if we can open it and reduce it for you.

I get an immediate Bug Splat when I try to open your file. Perhaps @colin can manage to get it to open. Colin: I sent in a report from the Bug Splat in case it helps. Crash #206621

Thanks.

We had been looking at the file because of your support request (vansm’s I mean, not Dave’s). Most of the file is zeros, and support will be replying to you soon to tell you that.
