usually single crowns are 1-1.7Mb, cast partials anywhere from 5-10Mb, and Izir about 12-17Mb

it has to do with how many triangles are involved in the STL. with singles its about 1 million, for cast partials upwards of 7-12million, and izir something like 20-25million.

it would take me 10 years to fill a 2 Tb drive. and i only need to keep files for 7.

We have a server with 10Tb. Been filling it with CAD, 3D and 2D x-ray, large photographs, and daily records for several years and we are just getting to the 1Tb level of data.

when doing CAD work, all the hotkeys i ever use have been programmed into the Cintiq expresskeys and touch strip. when operating the computer to do other tasks it is helpful to have a keyboard for faster typing but all the mouse functions can be accomplished with the pen and touch strip.
