• Key Concepts: 
  Lossy compression is a type of data compression used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) that reduces the size of 3D models and images by discarding some of the data. This type of compression is used to reduce the size of 3D models and images without significantly affecting their quality. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Lossy compression can be used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to reduce the size of 3D models and images. To use lossy compression, select the 3D model or image you want to compress, then select the “Lossy Compression” option from the menu. You can then adjust the compression settings to determine how much data will be discarded. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using lossy compression, it is important to adjust the settings carefully. If too much data is discarded, the quality of the 3D model or image may be significantly affected. It is also important to remember that once data has been discarded, it cannot be recovered.
