If not, you can reduce the object complexity at any time using the Type and Representation dialog. You don't have to do anything about these objects if the program works smoothly. The more such objects are in the project, the slower the program may work. A rule of thumb: objects with 100,000 and more polygons may decrease the program’s performance when you are using the 3D view with lights and shadows turned on. This parameter is more objective than the file size when we are talking about the model's complexity.
The model’s page also displays the number of polygons the model consists of. The model size will be shown on the model page, so you will be able to estimate how quickly it can be downloaded. Complex models, such as rooms with furniture, can be even larger. Some objects contain many details, and their size can reach 1 MB or more. The average size of models is about 100 KB for a single piece of furniture. If you wish to modify the model before using it in Live Home 3D, you should download it, edit in Trimble SketchUp™ and then import it into your project.ĭon’t forget that you should have an internet connection for getting models from Trimble’s collection. Importing from a file will not be discussed here. You can also download a model by using an ordinary web browser and then import the model into your project.
