Best practices to reduce file size

Best practices to reduce file size : 

  • Purge models. Delete unused groups.
  • Avoid exploding geometry
  • Minimize the use of In-place families
  • Minimize the use of void forms
  • Use families rather than groups
  • Maintain fewer links
  • Link only in appropriate view. For example, a detail should be referenced to a detail view
  • Use graphical symbols when 3D modeling is not required, such as for plumbing fixtures, furniture, etc.
  • Avoid use of extensive details.
  • Create and use a default view with minimum information
  • Set model view depth to a minimum
  • Use wireframe or shading view instead of hidden or shading with edges view
  • Turn off shadow
  • Avoid using volumes

Cut profile

Use the Cut Profile tool to change the profile of elements in drafting view such as roofs, floors, walls, and the layers of compound structures. This is view view-specific; the model won’t change.
