Help with reducing files

Hello,

I’m currently dealing with 2 large files and I have clean up 3 installed. I’ve done a general purge but everytime i try to purge within clean up 3 my file freezes for 15 mins+ to the point where i have to force quit and recover or it crashes on its own. Can anyone help with reducing these?

Important note- I need all cabinetry details and edge styles to remain visible.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I’ll see what I can do for you.

I did my standard cleanup procedure.

First file:

Fixed incorrect tag usage.


Purged unused stuff.

Reduced the size of the excessively large textures.

I also removed all edge materials and back face materials. File size is reduced by 60%. It could be reduced further by simplifying the entourage components. If you don’t need the CAD import now that you have the 3D model, you could delete it and purge unused stuff.

More to come including the reduced files.

Okay thank you! As long as cabinet styles still show we should be good

and yes, cad can be removed

OK. I’m waiting on a process running on both of your files so it’s slowing things down.

The second file.



I resized materials but forgot to take a screenshot.

There wasn’t as much to deal with as in the other file. Only a 22% file size reduction.

I think you could go through both files and simplify things but that’s going to require your decisions. Hopefully these will behave a little better for you.

Note, I removed back face materials. If you find any exposed back faces (blue) you should correct them so the front faces are out and then repaint them in needed. I didn’t go through the models to fix exposed back faces.

Thank you Dave! Sorry just getting back to my computer this morning and the files i think have expired- would you mind resending?

That’s weird. It shows they’ve been deleted but I didn’t delete them yet.
