I am finding that when compacting with a sync to central that it is taking a significant amount of time - like 30 or more minutes for a 300 mb file. I used to do this regularly- once or a week or so and if a normal sync takes 1 minute - it might take 2 or 3. This has been the case in Revit 2017-2019. Since encountering this problem I have stopped doing it but was asked today to try it again and having the same result. This is standard Revit- not cloud hosted or Revit server. As far as I know there is nothing usual about our network or server. Anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts as to why this might be happening?
I stopped compacting central files years ago as they will go up again within a few syncs.
If you do have to compact the model...detach from central, compact and then save the file as a different name...then repeat again and save back as the original name. That might save you 30-50mb, but really, if hard drive space is a concern I would suggest looking at SSD upgrades strictly for project files.
Performance wise...it is better to fix the warnings vs compacting or purging. The "Why" it compacts for a while and then jumps up again may be the history of the central file. When you save as a new name and compact it is essentially resetting the history, but then again the "open worksets and close worksets" trick is still perplexing.
But I used to work with 750 mb to 1.5 gb models and was amazed that they performed well. Model I am working on currently is 740 mb and works quite well....except for the fact that it has 1100+ warnings. Guess I know what I will be doing later this week.
