I wanted to use this as an included model, but shape kept closing on me because the filesize was too big!

tomy – check out this model – http://www.3dvia.com/dswavely/models/2C4E4E223406182A – to see that I’m not experiencing the same problem.

Have you had this problem with other models too recently?

Actually, I hadn’t add in this model yet, I was going to make a model of the car going up some rocks, and then a big white flat surface with a warning sign and a blue hedgehog. Look back at the earlier top tens and the model I am referring to but couldn’t add was there.

Is this the one – http://www.3dvia.com/Steren/models/4C9AEF425466784A ?

Ahh, if you scroll down in the “Stats” column (to the right of the “Description” link) it will tell you that the model is only usable in Shape by the owner. Different licenses allow each user to decide what they want as far as use of their models.

You could send Steren a message and ask for him to change the license or send you the model. It’s always worth a try.

Yes I could try that, but it wouldn’t really help, the filesize was already too big, but I’ll try.

The download 3DXML is only 875kB, but you’re right that if you already have other stuff in your scene it may still kick you over the 10MB limit.
