Hi there Sketchup to KMZ 4MB takes too long to import into Google Earth What would you suggest to make this work How can I fix this ---

Maybe there are things you can do to your SketchUp model to reduce the file size. Purge Unused as a start. If it’s still too long, you might need to contact Google and see if they have some solutions to make imports faster. ---

Hi Dave, I can turn layers of geometry detail on/off on my 22MB Model With everything on as I want to display it the KMZ is 4MB With most detailed layers off in the SketchUp model my KMZ amounts to 100KB (imports no problem) ---

so im wondering what the max alowance limit is and wait time from a gaming note book DELL GEFORCE GTX COREi7 ---

So it sounds like you need to find the balance of detail and loading speed in GE. I don’t know the answer to your question about “max allowance limit” or “wait time”. I expect you’d need to talk to someone at Google about that. ---

Thanks Dave hoping to find a plug in to convert to smaller detail size? ---

> [@anthony3](#): > > hoping to find a plug in to convert to smaller detail size? Oh. Why didn’t you say so? [Goldilocks](https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=goldilocks) might help by reducing large texture image file sizes. [Polyreducer](https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=polyreduce) might be useful to reduce polygon counts. ---

Goldilocks focusses on finding too high-resolution textures specifically for a given view point of a scene (Adam makes walk-throughs after all). Close to the camera a higher resolution is allowed than far away, and for a different side of the model different texture resolutions would be optimal For analyzing uniform texture resolution (without considering view points), one can also use [Texture Resizer](https://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/texture-resizer) (and optimize them at the same time). I believe the constraints of Google Earth are rather with too much geometry. Besides Polyreducer you should consider making a simplified version of the model without details like door handles or bevelled railings.
