I believe you nailed it @JustinTSE (in each new and outdated video)
so, to wrap it up:
- Scale back your texture dimension to what you really need
- Purge unused supplies and elements
- Don’t create edges which can be arduous to see in your viewport
@TheOnlyAaron is there another ideas?
Thanks
That’s optionally available–you’d simply hit purge all. Usually the objects are pre-checked and also you’d have the choice to deselect. Or you can hit clear and choose particular person elements. This isn’t my creativeness–in Quickbooks if i am going to a listing of transactions and need to delete, I get this precise menu. In my audio manufacturing software program, the identical. It is a widespread, tried and true function when coping with lists of parts. And I’ll add, once more, the straightforward potential to kind–whether or not alphabetically, by file dimension, by tag, or another parameter, is inexplicably absent.
As little as potential. I wish to preserve previous used elements out there, however when the skp file begins getting too huge I begin having efficiency points.
skp recordsdata? I can’t think about a file that giant working, a minimum of not on my laptop.
To every his personal. However I wouldn’t be so outspoken about this if the fundamental instruments I’m speaking about weren’t commonplace in different applications.
Sorting might be a beneficial function in case your elements are absolutely spec’d out with the entire out there information. I don’t see a lot of that on the Warehouse and in our case we do it by type quantity which is all we’d like. I agree it might be good to look primarily based on standards/title and so forth.
So that you in search of a purge guidelines and having the ability to order the record and search amongst the record?
I’m simply too lazy, I simply return to the properly the place I do know what I’m in search of 
Our file sizes are pushed by doing 4 showrooms on one flooring of Neocon on the Merchandise Mart. There’s a motive our machines have 64gb of RAM.
…plus: visible indication of elements in use, the affiliation with tags (sortable), “file” dimension of part (sortable), possibility for bigger thumbnails, “take me there” when chosen, repair context click on downside, to call a couple of. I created a put up on the topic right here: The part browser is horrible. Show me incorrect
Word: My first put up and I’m very new to SU.
If you wish to see my file, which is 350Mb and has over 10M elements? 
I’m completely struggling to handle my venture and I even thought my Rog Zephyrus M16(i9) must be changed as a result of it’s lagging in SU and the fixed noise is insufferable.
I haven’t modeled something myself, and all elements I’ve imported both from Revit or AutoCAD 3D. Though a lot of the elements are fairly organized for now, I actually need to get the file extra manageable and smaller. If any of you consultants wish to give me assist, I might purchase some companies from you.
Hopefully with this request I ain’t brake any discussion board guidelines
The “manageable” and “smaller” properties are partly various things. Mannequin efficiency relies upon virtually solely on the quantity of edges, faces and supplies SketchUp has to shuffle round. File dimension relies upon largely on mannequin group and the way properly all the pieces repeating has been become elements.
You may add your mannequin to a file sharing service and share the hyperlink to get strategies from discussion board members about what to do with it.
Uploaded the massive file and in addition three space recordsdata which I produced from one huge file.
There may be some modeling that also have to do – like wall and ceiling framing for a 1000m2 space (space 470 mannequin) – wall cladding must be organized for that space. Parts want to make use of extra reasonable colours. Ground works – like leveling, and tiling must be organized.
My essential aim is to have it managed in 5D software program (Syncro, Bexel), so I might management 3D additionally time and cost-wise. I’m simply fearful my venture will finish earlier than I get my 3D mannequin achieved, lol. The mannequin received’t want additionally correct measures however have to have all elements for QTO and materials and process scheduling.

And don’t hold me, as a result of I’m simply BIM-idea fanatic, however I’d sound too removed from the precise data. Perhaps I ought to simply follow a pencil and paper!? 
I downloaded your file. It has one thing like 14 million edges and 6 million faces. The principle motive appears to be that it has been imported from another software program in order that the mannequin may be very triangulated. Operating ThomThom’s CleanUp extension with all of the containers checked form of decimated the geometry. Look if one thing went lacking. It’s nonetheless quite unwieldy. Hope it isn’t Estonia.
401 – HULL2.skp (8.4 MB)
Kiitos Anssi!
It’s not Estonia, it’s considerably known as a inside venture in cruise ships, thehee…
I’ve been operating additionally CleanUp 3 for the mannequin. It has been decreased some megabytes, however not so drastically that I might drop thought to purchase myself some higher machine.
Hull i’ve been importing from STEP recordsdata,
Inside I’ve imported from Revit or AutoCad 3D dwg recordsdata.
Solely suppose I can consider, is to start out once more from the start, and for larger space every part, i’ve to after importing do all columns and different rounded faces some element discount… then clear part with CleanUp… does it matter if I put all elements to layer 0? What am I shedding after doing so?
And greetings to Finland
Thanks
The one goal of Tags is to regulate visibility.
The most effective apply is to herald every downloaded part to a brand new file for cleanup and dimension discount earlier than including it to the primary mannequin.
For an inside design venture I’d in all probability neglect about what’s contained in the hull and deck constructions and risk them as kinds with an outer and internal floor and nothing inside. When the mannequin is completed nobody will see contained in the deck anyway.
When cleansing the mannequin up, I believe a lot of the extra geometry was within the deck beams with holes in them. Selecting to not mannequin the holes would scale back the mannequin additional.
Like brandt.esko I’m additionally new to this discussion board and nonetheless studying SKP.
My {hardware} is a ROG Zephyrus G14., AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS,32GB ram.
Rendering software program is Podium plugin.
I’m engaged on a mannequin for a marina & business buying/plaza, bodily the world covers an space round 1km x 2km (2 islands and a piece of the mainland) which I want to seem precisely within the background after I generate views.
So-far the mannequin is round 350Mb with the marina sparsely populated with boats. Aside from some over-exposure points and some bugsplats it’s nonetheless manageable.
Now the consumer has requested for some photos of a boat-show he desires to host on the location, so – absolutely populated with a variety of 20m to 50m luxurious yachts. (all distinctive designs, copy-paste rows of an identical boats seems dreadful)
To do that I deleted al the proposed buildings however I nonetheless bought filesize of 660Mb.
After studying this thread I used to be reminded to purge the file, which took round quarter-hour to finish and it decreased the dimensions to 600Mb.
I’m getting extra bugsplats – so I save so much (which takes 5 minutes) and the file takes about 7 minutes to load.
Asus have some good diagnostic software program which permits me to maintain monitor of what sources I m operating out of – Once I’m rendering the CPU is operating at as much as 90% and it reaches temps round 93 deg, however the RAM by no means rises above round 70% capability. (22Gb used)
Home windows takes round 4Gb, and with the 600Mb file open & idle 10.6Gb is used.
It appears to me that including RAM received’t assist deal with the recordsdata, I want extra CPU. Does Sketchup assist multi-core processing? or are 7 of my cores sitting idle?
No 3D modelling utility helps multithreading (apart from some restricted duties like non-realtime rendering). Autodesk promised to make 3D Studio Max modelling multithreaded some 30 years in the past nevertheless it has not but materialized.
You shouldn’t be doing that with SketchUp Make…
