Are you trying to make it "lighter" so that you can send it to someone?.....  If so, grab the marker at the end of the part tree and drag it as far up as you can. Then save the part.

 

If you are on 2013 or 2014, then right click on the EOP marker and choose "Move to Top". When the person gets your file, they will have to move the marker back to the bottom.

yes I knew about this method. But I don`t need to send the file.

Any other suggestions?
Thank you.

Can you use a Decal rather than Emboss (at least for most of it)?

yes, i think you right. Decal will be the best way to make the model lighter.

Thank you.
