Hi - I think I remember reading something about how to "shrink" your sketchup file within sketchup to make it small enough to post. Mine is too large to put up here without using zip or rar etc. I searched the forum for a while but couldn't find the post I remembered. Am I imagining things? thanks dave
Aloha Dave, Happy New Year! Here's the info I got from John:
when you've completed a drawing go to window/model info/statistics. Here is where you can purge the whole drawing. It removes any components that' you may have tried but aren't in the final drawing, similarly with materials and layers that aren't used. I've set the upload limit at 500k. if it's a bit over zip it.
Hope this helps, Aloha 8)
Thanks!
