Hello friends of CGARCHITECT!!! How are you doing? I am having some problems with huge files on 3DS Max 2012. I´ve done this small scene (that I supposed the "right size" of the file wouldn´t be more than 60...70MB...or in the worst case...100MB)...but almost all the last files of a client of mine are having this problem. I don´t know if the problem is one object or more than one. I´ve tried to merge the objects in a new file and when I just merged the FIRST object (I was trying to merge only one at a time) and I saved...the file size got 300MB. It´s really weird this file size with only one object (and this object does not have more than 50...60 polygons). I´ve done the first scene and the file got 150MB, so when I was going to start the second scene using the same first file and I´ve changed only the ceiling the file got from 150 to 300MB. I´ve read a post here from Tim Nelson about this...but I don´t know if were the same problem. Anyways, he told something about REACTOR COLLISIONS PANEL in the Utilities panel, but I didn´t find it. Anyone can help me? Thanx!!!

im running max design 12 + vray - 64bit. Files are growing in size without any apparent reason, simple scene with a selection of primitives, no Booleans or proxies -can grow to 250 meg in size. If I delete the entire scene, so there is no geometry in the file, the size still stays at the large size. Any ideas what is happening? puzzled... and frustrated.
