I've posted two decent sized .dat models here recently (St Marks and the

Is this appropriate?  Is there any danger of using up too much disk space?

Nah, don't worry about it with small files.  Your "Baroque Church Facade"
post was only 47,684 bytes (about 46.5 KB) -- still pretty small.  You'd
have to be posting 500 KB files often in order to cause a problem.

That sounds suspiciously like a challenge.  How often is 'often'?

500 KB is in the neighborhood of a 7500 piece model.  I currently can't do
better than 108 KB, and that would be a fairly gratuitous posting (ie, it's
been published elsewhere).

(...) It's not, no, and I think there have been a couple large parts that were converted from some other format that were in the neighborhood of that size. --Todd (24 years ago, 3-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
