Issue relating to blender
I have been working on building a scene in Blender. The blender executable file for that scene has come close to 3.1GB. And now I am not able to work flawlessly as before on this scene to develop it further. Please help me get through this. Thank You.

Two pieces of advice. Well... actually three.
First - what is far away from the camera does not need to be extremely detailed. Sometimes a plane with a picture on it is enough. Or maybe just the front facing vertices and a flat surface at the back.
Second - Go through each object and use modifier Remesh. Lower the number of vertices until you see a change in the viewport, that you don't like. Then back off a tiny bit until you can see basically the exact same object with less vertices.
Third - Whenever you have several object of same size and build, use INSTANCES. Copy the first object with ALT+d instead of SHIFT+d Gives you the added bonus that a change in mother object is replicated in all the happy little children objects. Remember to apply the changes - BUT not before you have saved your project with a new name. Just in case.
OHH. I forgot. Open object in edit mode. Select all vertices and Merge by Distance to remove vertices that are so close to each other that you won't notice that they are merged.
...and compress the file in the save-menu
