Filesize depends on shademode?

[Charles]

Hi,

create a new file, run _Purge, _Save.
Results in a file of 21KB.

Set the Artistic shade mode and save.
Results in a file of 480KB.
No good!

Is it because of the thumbnail image?

Thanks,

Possibly the image, or maybe the shading meshes get saved to the document?
What does Audit3dmFile say on the contents of the file?

The artistic mode is a technical mode and those meshes are not saved in the file. Should be something else then…

@wim

and those meshes are not saved in the file

Especially when there is no geometry at all…
