Oversized Drawing

[Anonymous]

Hey all,
I've been working on a subdivision, and the size of the drawing has
progresively been geting bigger. This I have expected, but I created a
Fountain to put in the square and the the drawing jumped up 17 meg. Now
this fountain was created by revolving a profile and then changing the solid
into a mass element, but 17 meg. I did a drape, which is a mass element,
and it was a whole lot bigger in size, but the drawing didn't increase this
much or more in size. Dose anyone have any thoughts on this? Please help!

Can you create a simpler object (plan view) for most drawings and only use
the 3D model when you actually need it.
You could use a MVB with a flat elevation view (use an aecpolygon) if you
want the fountain in elevations.
How involved is your profile? Usually AEC objects are significantly smaller
than solids. What do you ned the 3d model for?

I'm doing a terrain model for a subdivision. The fountain is in the square.
I thought as you did, that a mass element should be smaller, when I create a
drape of the sub division, it is smaller that a tin of 3d faces of the same
sub division, I just can't figure out why a simple profile of a 3 tier
fountain should be so lager. 18 meg.

and if you save just the fountain in its own file it's still 18mb? Is the profile one continuous line or has it been joined at all?

Yes it's 18 meg after saving. The fountain is 3 different revolutions
converted to mass elements. Each of the fountain parts are a closed pline

i revolved the entire profile and it was 330kb. I tried every way but cant get it anywhere near 18mb. Even after coverting it to a mass element and then to a 3D solid it was only 1.8mb..
Can you recall doing anything else that may have caused it because i cant see how it's become so huge for you but not for me..

[Anonymous]

I revolved them as three pieces, try that. If it still comes in small can I
have your revolve and mass element?

Does it need to be three different pieces? If not here you go..

Juuuust in case it does..
