Out of control file sizes??????? 2005-04-08 - By Bradley R. Gabe

Any chance you or others working with you are doing a lot of merging scenes
into other scenes? If so, merging a scene will dump lots of versions of
cameras, layers, passes, material libraries, etc.

<br>
I dug around in the Explorer and found a VERY long list in Layers and
Passes and Materials. I deleted all of these except the tops ones
on each list. My file size is back down to 4 meg. <br>
<br>
My question is:<br>
<br>
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN????!!!! Is there a way to prevent XSI from
creating all these materials, layers, passes, so that I dont have to
keep spending all this time deleting stuff I dont need and, as far as I
know, never needed to be there in the first place.<br>
<br>
Any help with this matter would be appreciated.<br>
