ONE SINGLE REVIT FILE VS MULTIPLE SEPARATE LINKED FILES WITH TIPS AND TRICKS
THE BIG QUESTION
-Should we do everything in one SINGLE Revit file or should we do each building in a separate file and later, just for the site plan, link all the files into one, main file.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DOING PROJECTS THAT ARE TEN OR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SQUARE METERS. IT IS MORE DIFFICULT TO WORK ON SUCH PROJECTS IF ALL THE ELEMENTS ARE IN ONE Revit file. THERE ARE ALSO SOME TECHNICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ZERO GROUND FLOOR LEVELS
I PREFER TO SPLIT THE FILES AND LINK THEM LATER INTO THE MAIN FILE. SO I WILL SHOW YOU A SIMPLE WAY TO SAVE THE FILES SEPARATELY, AND WHEN YOU INSERT THEM INTO THE MAIN FILE, THEY WILL COME EXACTLY TO THE PLACE YOU WANT THEM WITHOUT MANUALLY MOVING THEM. BECAUSE MANUALLY MOVING LARGE FILES CAN BE VERY SLOW.
YES, BUT FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO DO EVERYTHING IN ONE FILE, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW A FEW SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO TECHNICAL PROBLEMS.
FOR EXAMPLE, HOW TO CREATE LEVELS AND SPOT ELEVATIONS FOR EACH HOUSE THAT SHOW THE GROUND FLOOR ZERO AND SHOW THE OTHER LEVELS OF THAT HOUSE IN RELATION TO THAT GROUND FLOOR ZERO.
