In ArchiCAD 10 we often have large files that we would like to reduce. Because they are so big it takes longer than usual to open drawing windows. When you are detailing this is very time consuming is there a way of linking two files, one with the main building the other with details then importing. Or maybe merging before documentation in plotmaker. I am looking to simplify the process so any ideas on reducing file size would be appreciated.
It sounds like you could use Hotlinked Modules. They allow each separate building in a project to be created in a separate file and then brought together in one master. Unfortunately they are limited to working on one storey at a time - a long standing wish for the wish list - multi storey modules.
see the ArchiCAD reference guide PDF - it covers modules in great detail.
