Size down a file

[architecclp]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to size down a file without deleting the objects?
I’m working on creating a garage, using steel, concrete and brick,
but since I’ve made all the bricks individually, the file is now 1600 MB,
I’ve already made a union of all the brick walls but the file is still huge and slows my omputer down

and especially trying to make a raytraced render or trying to get a 2D takes ages

I’ve also deleted all the unnecessary things

You could build your wall with one brick saved as a block.

Below is a screenshot with the file sizes of 10000 bricks. Once built with a block and shaded, the other file is with 10000 individual breps, also shaded.
