I have a Revit project with the usual consultants: S & MEP. Everyone is linking to everyone else. After they post their files, I download them in order to link them into my architectural. Usually they post their file with their own links still present, even though they have a path that won't work with my network. When I link them I get an error "link can't be found". Most of the time I just remove their links. They are overlays, and I am linking the same files directly into my architectural anyway. This morning I got a warning as I was removing the architectural link from the plumbing rvt file. It basically said there was a wall hosted sprinkler that was hosted by a wall in the architectural link. If I remove the link, the sprinklers will be deleted.
Am I making a mistake by removing links from consultants' files?
