Optimize scene size

There are several functions available in Maya to decrease the size and complexity of your scene.

To... Do this

Remove empty, invalid, and unused information from the scene.

Select File > Optimize Scene Size.

Remove construction history from the selected object(s).

Only do this if you are sure you do not need to edit the objects’ history again.

Select the objects and select Edit > Delete by Type > History.

Do not save panel layouts with the scene.

In the UI Elements preferences (Window > Settings/Preferences > Preferences), turn off Save Panel Layouts with File.

Delete static animation channels.

Edit > Delete by Type > Static Channels.
