# 19-03-01 Fri Day 8

时不时稍微站远一点看看自己的工作，能更好地把握节奏，明确方向。防止钻在一个细节里闷头苦坐。


## Today's work plan

* HMI: Photoshop mock-up of the three main function tab → make slide to show its function.
* 3D model: the current fbx file is too large (900mb), make it smaller (100~200mb)

## Log

* Sort out alert icons and status icons, save them in two separate files.
* Looking for method to reduce 3dm file size:
   * the original jt file is about 300 MB, and after being converted to 3dm file, it became 1.5 GB
   * [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/checkreducefilesize|Use "Audit3dmFile" command]] to check what is contributing to the size: there are too many objects (more than 2 thousands)
   * First, try to simplify the mesh. <-- looks like it doesn't work.   (ref: [[https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/meshfaq|custom mesh setting?]])
   * Next, empty the objects inside of the excavator.
* UI: alert bar
   * One row: left is alert icon, right is alert message.
   * Two rows: top is alert icon, bottom is alert message.
