Amount of data in rhino

Rhino Rhino for Windows
#1

I created a complex construction in rhino. Is there a command to reduce the amount of data?
The construction consists of polysurfaces…Ist a gridshell like the centre pompidou-metz by Shigeru ban.

any ideas?

Thanks

Using blocks for repetetive geometry is one way.
Another is to mesh the objects and join those in to as few as possible.

Also simplifying curves, purging model, finding duplicates, shrinking trimmed surfaces often helps

Hi @michaelpisching
Reducing the render mesh settings can also sometimes drastically decrease how complex the file is - depending on what you mean by

Are we talking file size, how the file handles in Rhino or…?
