# Building the Render Package

While working on a Daz project you might choose to enhance it by using textures, instances, geometry’s, shaders, etc. Each of these is referenced in the .duf file, but not physically included as part of it (hence small file size) - until it comes time to render. At render, all these additional elements are pulled into a ‘package’ that is sent for rendering in order to create the actual (real) image that represents your project as you envisioned it. Depending on the complexity of your project these additional enhancement elements can increase the size of the file sent for rendering significantly (hence large render upload file). Consequently, this will also increase the upload time to Boost for Daz.

{% hint style="info" %}
This is the reason for the "mushrooming" of a Daz small project file (\*.duf) of say for e.g. 2MB, that goes onto create a large 'render package' of 3GB (for example).  The size of the render package can be observed in the render window during the calculations phase of this process.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.boostfordaz.com/using-boost-for-daz/rendering-with-boost-for-daz/building-the-render-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
