File getting larger when shared

[Chadi SAROUFIM]

can someone please confirm that it is normal for a pln of 72mb size becoming 288mb when shared to be used as teamwork...

[Karl Frost]

Doesn't sound normal at all to me! Did you keep the "Compress File" box ticked when you saved the Teamwork PLP file?

[Holger Kreienbrink]

that is ok. A file gets 1.5 to 5 times bigger when it is shared with TW 2.0.

Take a look at archicadwiki.com > Teamwork
EDIT:
Oh, just saw, that you ar eusing TW 1. Then it is NOT normal. You should compress the file by ArchiCAD automatically

In TW1 I occasionally would see a some file bloat. It would depend on individual file settings and setup. But I've never seen it bloat that much.

In TW2 the shared file is no longer a .PLP file - It is a dynamic database file that is more efficient for the client-server delta technology. We tested the file size in a TW2 file by copying the entire 3D model multiple times within the file itself... We were surprised that the file did not bloat proportionally. But the database now stores much more than just the model data so the file will grow during the project file lifespan.

it strikes me that 288 is a multiple of 72. Is there any chance you have a circular reference in a hotlink?
