Re: Library for metal construction objects
this wall model weighs 94KB
This is an extreme example of the both the ease and usefullness of using walls but at the same time it shows the incredible inefficiency in model size. (It's a 119kb obj file.)
You can create great and very detailed furniture in Sweet Home 3D but avoid using walls if possible.

I used Blender to clean up the I-Beam. Here's the same I-Beam but reduced in size to a 14.4kB obj file. That is a huge difference! Basically I removed everything that is hidden inside the beam (caused by using walls) and only left the outside skin that is visible.
