Layout Slow when updating model reference

It seems this kind of topic keeps recurring. It is just common sense and should be applied the entire spectrum of Layout usage.

  1. Keep your models small. Many ways to achieve this. Purge. Clean (extension). Use less materials (material replacer).
  2. Remove furniture or any high polygon objects, especially plants.
  3. If you can’t remove any furniture or high polygon (faces) objects, replace them with very low polygon or representations (wireframe).
  4. Buy SKIMP extension to reduce your polygons.

260Mb Sketchup File is really too large for anything, even I would give up.
See the model attached - the whole file is only 4Mb and there is a lot of information in there.
