I commissioned a design in sketch up and they did a great job. However I have 2 files, one is 34mb and I can view and edit it in the free version. It however seems to be a work in progress as it has elements missing or elements I cannot force visible.
The second if 170mb and was used to generate the renders. It has I know a table and chairs that is very large. Ok for rendering not for leaving visible during editing. The issue is I cannot open the file as it exceeds the 100mb limit for web files.
I’m not getting anywhere with the artist as they went on hols.
Is there a way I can get the large elements etc removed from the file and re-saved to fit the 100mb limit? It’s not worth paying £££ for a PC licence just to mess around withe file for a couple of hours.
That was the location I was trying from but keep getting an error

In the meantime, could you upload the 170MB file to a file sharing service for someone to have a look at for you? Use Dropbox, OneDrive, WeTransfer or something similar.
There is the SketchUp Viewer desktop application. If someone has sent a file for you to review, you can use that for looking at any size file (that would also open ok in the desktop version of SketchUp).
