Just upgraded to 4R7 64bit and have noticed the file size of my project keeps growing. I had a 40 million polygon model that saved at 1.4 GB’s but have since trimmed the model down to 10 million polys. But for some reason it has grown to 2.2 GB’s. It is a ZB project file and has no other tools outside of my project included.
Any ideas why it’s growing so much with only 10 mil poly’s?

Del UH (Delete Undo History)
The Del UH function, located in the Edit >> Tool sub-palette deletes the current Tool (or SubTool) History.
Note: The undo history, depending of the number of undos saved, can increase the Project file size. If you dont need your undo history, dont forget to delete it every once in a while. Alternatively, turn off the Undo History button in the File palette
Good call informerman. Unfortunately I don’t have any history saved with the project. But I think it’s a step closer to figuring it out.
I went ahead and saved my 10 million poly sculpt as a ztool(I believe ZB doesn’t save any history with the ztool) and while its a smaller file size, its still a rather stout 750 MB file.
But I appreciate the response, it gives me direction of where to find the file size bloat.
