Another challenge ?

[LarryS.]

DaveR,

Will you be posting another challenge this week ? I find them very good ways to learn


Paul (aka Mighty_Genghis)

Alright. Let me see what I can come up with.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Here you go. Draw the above but keep the file size under 35Kb.

 

[Slim]

29.7 KB


I take it this is about using components to keep the file size down?

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Not bad. I got 26.3Kb.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Anyone else?

 

[wizer]

Wouldn't know where to start. I'm already wrestling with SU on another project.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

WiZeR, check your e-mail.

 

[John McM]

Nope, I'm stuck

 

[RobertMP]

just realised i have not installed sketchup yet since upgrading the computer :lol:

 

[LarryS.]

Anyone else?

Dave,

A clue is required (I don't know where to start on this one !)

thanks


paul

 

[Slim]

Not bad. I got 26.3Kb.

Well Dave, I've been trying to beat your file size, but I can't.

 

[wizer]

to be honest 3kb difference could just be defragmentation

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Simon, would you like to explain?

 

[Slim]

Simon, would you like to explain?

I thought I might be able to skim 4Kb off the file size by making it out of different components. I failed miserably. Never mind.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

That's alright. But would you like to explain to the rest how you got the file size as small as you did?

 

[Slim]

Oh I see Dave, sorry...

I'll have a go. Watch this space!

 

[LarryS.]

come on guys, give me a crumb ! got no clue where to start

 

[NeilO]

file size (Kb)?, are we talking .skp or .Jpg???

and i know its not quite right, but heres my attempt

hey , at least i`m trying..... :lol: :lol: ( some people say "very")


Paul, mines no where near perfect but I think the single square is a starting point I just need to get rid of all those "in yer face " lines.. :lol:

 

[Slim]

Instead of giving the whole thing away. Why don't I just give a hint to get people started.

Components, components, components!

This is the only component I made.
