Designing Models for Easy Uploading

There are no set rules to determine whether a file will upload to 3D ContentCentral easily; however, there are some general guidelines that might help.

3D ContentCentral is unable to upload files that are too large or too complex.
Models must be free of rebuild errors.
Parts should open and rebuild in SOLIDWORKS in less than 90 seconds.
Parts should contain less than 200 simple features or 100 complex features (for example, surfacing).
Assembly ZIP files should be smaller than 15 MB.
Assemblies should contain fewer than 20 components.
If the model is too large, consider deleting configurations specified in the ConfigurationManager (keeping the definition specifications in the design table).
