Bradley Revit Family Secrets – Compact File Reduces File Size

Revit (BIM) Managers typically use the Revit SAVEAS Command and its “Compact File” Option to reduce a  Revit project file size.

Bradley uses this process, as one of the last procedures; that we apply to reduce the file size of our final Revit Family models.

It’s pretty common, to build a Bradley Revit family product model; that may be –800K in file size. Once we use this process; it may reduce the file size to 325-365K.

Consider testing this procedure on your Revit family library models or Revit family content; that you download from other Revit libraries.

Remember to delete or purge unused content within your families (materials, nested families, subcategories, CAD files, line patterns); prior to using this “Compact File” procedure in the Revit SAVEAS command.
