What takes up more space in Solidworks? A cube or a box?
(OP)
Hi, just wondering what would require more computing power to move around/model in Solidworks - a solid cube or a hollowed out one?
It's just so I know whether I need to shell something or not to get the best performance.
Thanks!

Less features = better performance

Just to add one more thing...
Try Tools > Feature Statistics
And you will see which features take the longest to rebuild. You can then choose which features you can suppress in order to improve performance.
cheers,
