Hi @wmayerwmayer wrote:git commit 7901cf7
You say you have noticed the bigger file sizes after this commit doesn't mean it is caused by this commit . All what this commit is about is that when exporting a single shape it doesn't add the ASSEMBLY label to keep the placement separate. So, this means that when exporting several objects effectively nothing has changed at all.after this commit I noticed that the exporting structure is fine, but the file size increased a lot also when the STEP is a single object...
Hi @wmayerwmayer wrote: Since the file sizes of the exported models with single and multiple objects are more than twice as big as before it must have a different reason. After looking in the preferences of the STEP export you will find the setting Write out curves in parametric space of surface which wasn't there in previous FreeCAD versions. After switching off this setting you will get more or less the same file size as the original STEP files.
That's something I am not able to answer since I know almost nothing about the STEP specification. Maybe there are some exports out there who know the answer.Is that correct that a fusion of parts will become double size of a single collection of parts when exporting to STEP format?
I would have expected that fusion would have the same footprint or even less than multiple parts...
Due to some recent changes in the tree view the load of STEP files is 30x slower: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 04#p168504vejmarie wrote:I will try to have a look if wmayer doesn't have the time. I am currently struggling with a crazy step file which is taking for ever to be opened (went from 33 hours to 4 hours, still some improvement ahead to make it usable).
