I am trying to “share” a project via web etc, but whenever I try, it seems to be stalled on “Creating a link” and continues to process/think. I thought it was my file size, so I did something simple and same thing happened.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Export time is mostly related to the real physical size of the model. You can try this by creating a copy of the whole project, then downscaling the models in it, to let’s say, 10%. It will export much faster. Otherwise, it just takes time to generate and upload a potentially quite large file.
