Reducing Revit Models File Size
February 2025
❝ I found most Revit models end up in 400 MB or more. ❞
😞 Unfortunately, Purge Unused Revit button doesn´t clean within project families.
So, I made a small Revit tool that cleans within the selected families and reloads a lighter version of them in the model.
I’m probably (very) biased, but I used it and made a video reducing the file size of one of my models by 40 percent.
📌 If you want to watch the video:
PS: This small tool is for nonicatab pro.
💻 Coding tip: used the performanceadviser and its rules to find out what needs to be purged.
I connected A.I. reports to Revit.
