📏 File Limits & Model Optimization
3 articlesUnderstanding the 5GB & 32GB Memory Limits
Why RAM rather than disk size is the critical parsing bottleneck, and how to request Pro quota exemptions for massive models.
How to Optimize IFC Files for Fast Parsing
Learn how mapped item representations and Type objects eliminate redundant geometric definitions, shrinking file size by up to 80%.
Handling .ifczip Compressed Files
Why compressing an IFC file into a ZIP archive saves upload bandwidth but does not reduce memory usage during full analytical parsing.
