Adding images in a sheet's layout

[p.vicini]

Hi all, goodmorning,
i added in an A4 sheet rfa family four images of about 300-400 kb each, one title tag and one little text. The file went to 12 mb size ; anybody knows why?? and exists a method to add images without grow soo much the project size?

see you,

The file went to 12 mb size ; anybody knows why??

Have you tried saving the file closing it and reopening it? Sometimes the file size jumps while you have it open and reduces once you have closed it. There have been some other threads disucssing this, including some speculation (was a conclusion reached?) about windows reporting file sizes inaccurately.

I did it, the first time before saving was about 23 Mb

Are the images imported as Jpeg from "my documents" ?

I normally reduce image size by half or quarter & then import ~ Size of image is then adjusted to suit within the file (often reduced again to fit on sheet)

I also use Greyscale images if I want to cut down on printing

But no I do not know the reason for the increase in file size

i reduced imagines with Photoshop since about the 33% , but the more impressive thing is that the file with no reduced images is smaller than the other !!
It is very strange, but , you know, if is not strange is not for work

revit doesn;t link images so what ever size they are is added to revit, plus some for whatever revit needs data wise to have them there.

Did you delete the raster images from the file using the "raster images" on the "file" menu? I don't think just deleting the display of the image from a sheet actually removes the image from the Revit file. When you open up the "raster image" command you need to delete the image from there.

Tom,
if i delete image from the raster image command, they disappear from the design; i want to have them, but unfortunatly the size of the file gets 11 MB also if the four images total size is quite 1 Mb only ; me too was thinking that the size of the images would be , in Revit, the same size they have in the original file plus some more space to manage them inside the software; for the moment i see something different

good news and bad news !!

i redid completely the sheet model and he got his right 4Mb total!!!!

Then i tried to remove each by each the images in the big one; when i did it, the empty file was always 11 Mb .

Maybe i have to send the file at the factory?? how can i do it??
