For example, linking structure, M,E and P into a container file and then linking the container into a Architecture model. In this scenario we'd have practically no control over each discipline's information.<br /><br />Two: Repeating "units" (townhouse, apartments, hotel rooms, hospital patient rooms) must be linked into something and often that is a "floor" project file. In this case the individual control over the unit links is not often a real loss when the "floor" is linked into a "shell" model.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-9264279794392501942012-10-03T16:16:33.432-07:002012-10-03T16:16:33.432-07:00Is it not inevitable to punt links into links for ...Is it not inevitable to punt links into links for some large projects?Alfredo Medinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998597439608444010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-7863736267553511502012-10-02T08:37:44.200-07:002012-10-02T08:37:44.200-07:00We do this a lot.

We do need to control them at Blockplan level and use view templates rigorously to do this. <br /><br />We stay away from groups for units as we find them awkward to work with. And prone to errors.RevitRandomiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372568163570151956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-49446603496816682322012-10-02T06:16:04.603-07:002012-10-02T06:16:04.603-07:00So would you recommend bring the units into the fi...So would you recommend bring the units into the first model as groups and then link that model into the other one?

If you absolutely must deal with this kind of scenario, I wonder if some variation on a project with master View Templates that pushes them out to all of the sublinks could be useful?<br /><br />As per <a href="http://whatrevitwants.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/keeping-views-in-multiple-rvt-files.html" rel="nofollow">What Revit Wants: Keeping Views in Multiple RVT files consistent</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057955734322127661noreply@blogger.com
