Hello Johan Cosandey,

We made the decision on a few big projects to separate the 3D model from the 2D details drawings
Since 2011 I never needed to work like this. I think the main aim about BIM/Archicad deals with linking 3D and 2D.

To reduce file size...
Did you optimise your libraries ?
Do you use module ?
Do you use high polygon objects ?
Do you delete unused layouts ? unused attributes ?

Do you use BIMCloud ?
Did you try to download a PLN about your teamwork project to clean it before share it again ?
Finaly how do you draw your details ?
For example using Patches above building elevations and sections is a great way to keep your project lighter and faster.
If you draw most of your building elevations and sections in 2D worksheets, it is right that your project will be quickly too heavy.
However, I also want to be able to use trace referencing from another opened file.
