Just a quick note...
I am modeling a 10 story, 300,000 SF building and am about 4 floors up now. I went through and placed the rooms for all 4 floors in one swipe (about 400). I noticed my file size jump from about 9 mb to 50 mb immediately. After further completion of the model, I've enclosed every room and eliminated any "redundant rooms" or "unenclosed" rooms (probably 200). Once this was finished the file size went back down to 11 mb. I was even down to only 15 or 20 of these unenclosed or redundant rooms at one point and the file size was still 48 mb. I guess i didn't realize the effect of unenclosed/redundant rooms on a projects file size before!
