Hey SketchUp Community, I am an architecture and interior design student in college. Also, I’m doing a final project for my architecture class. I’ve ran into some geometry problems with my walls. Instead of me starting my final project over again, I need someone to help me learn how I could fix the…

The screenshot makes the model look fairly simple. Perhaps there are imported textures causing the file size to be so high. Go to Window/ModleInfo/Statistics and ‘Purge Unused’. Save and see if that brings the size down.

You can upload the model to a file sharing site such as wetransfer and provide a link here.

Ok, I’m going to send the link right now.

Since it’s your schoolwork we can’t do the work for you but as Steve says, it would help us to give you guidance in fixing it if you share the file. One thing right way is that you have a some exposed blue back faces. Right click on them and choose Reverse Faces.

Hello DaveR, My model is 95.4 MB and I’m almost done getting the link so I can share it with you guys.

I’m sorry guys, my file is taking too long to upload which I can’t get the link from WeTransfer. Is there another cloud-based software where I can upload my file so I can share it with you guys? Thanks, Damon.

Hi Eric, Thank you so much for telling me about how to reduce the file size. It’s now uploading much faster on DropBox.

Ok everybody, here’s the link to my file: Dropbox

A huge part of the issue with this model is the sectional sofa in Group#10. It all by itself has almost 2 million edges, 2/3 of the total for the model. I don’t think that sofa is the main subject of the model? Surely you could get by with something less complex.

Good catch! Compare that to a similar BMW from FormFonts: only 15k!
