    Default Using Linked Revit Files... How many?

    I'm working on a new way to structure very large projects on Revit using heavily nested linked Revit models and doing research on the ways Revit files are typically structured now.

    I'm curious what the current typical nesting strategy is for Revit projects. Is it a separate file per discipline (Arch/MEP/Structural) or some other way to separate files such as 1 file getting too difficult to work with and thus breaking it into more manageable pieces? If you could please chime in on your nesting strategy I would appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Default Re: Using Linked Revit Files... How many?

    We have separate files for each discipline, and on our larger hospital projects we even have separate files for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Our architectural models are often split up into a Core & Shell model and an interior or Fitout model, but this was primarily done to handle issuing separate permit packages of drawings. I think estimating your final file size and considering the number of simultaneous users in these files will help you determine how many files you'll need/want. There are major advantages and disadvantages to multiple files.
