What is the edge limit for SU models for GE?

[Helen269]

My latest model has just been rejected for having too much geometry.
The edge count is 26539 and the face count is 9407. What are the
limits on these two stats for models for GE?

Thanks,
Helen

Hi Helen,

The limit isn't on either of those two stats; it's on the triangulated
KMZ geometry, which isn't accessible from within SketchUp. If you
haven't used very many components, you're probably only off by 50% or
so; if you've used tons of components you could be off by a factor of
ten. (Post a model link, and I'll go take a look, if you like.)

Hi Allison,

Thanks for offering to take a look at it. Here is the link:

If the link breaks the model it's called "Clavell Tower Folly, Kimmeridge,
Dorset".
I've already replaced the columns and central clover-shaped cutouts with
lower poly count versions (they were grouped and copied but I've made them
components now). I still have to do the topmost clovers but hopefully that
should do it. There's some geometry in the basement of the posted version
that I've also already cleared out. I would have deleted the posted version
already but you wanted to have a look.

This is the first time I've done something cylindrical and it's been a real
education. The education being don't do it again! Lol!

Thanks again,
Helen

Never mind, I've just now uploaded the revised version and am waiting to see
how that goes, geometry-wise.
