AECOsim Building Designer - File Sizes?

Hello,

Can anyone explain why, when using dynamic views the file size of sheets and drawings get enormous? We are having files – and these do only contain references and there is not a single line drawn in it which get up to 100MB. We are using a lot of cached references as otherwise it would be impossible to work with.

What does AECOsim (SS4, 08.09.11.593) load into these files? Compressing them squeezes them down back to a few KB but it does take some time and large files are
difficult to share.

Thanks,

 Johannes

  • Hi Thomas,

    I previously played around with 'compress on exit' but with very mixed results. Generally it is fine with smaller sized model files but really becomes a pain when switching often between files. We tend to use batch compress jobs to shrink an entire project over night which really helps shortening loading times. However it seems a good idea not to use it in DV files.

    Cheers,
