My firm has three offices located around the US. One Revit project we are working on has our Kentucky office modelling the core and shell, while the NYC office is fitting out the interior.
Although we are looking at Steelhead and/or Global Scape to link everyone together realtime, for now the Kentucky [KY] office sends us their core & shell via FTP and we link it to our interior fitout file. I have been auditing the model we recently produced and found a lot of partitions poking through the floor slab into the space above.
I suspect this is happening because the floor is in the link file from KY and the "attach to underside of slab" feature can't work over there because they don't have the partitions, and we can't fix it over here because we don't own the floors to edit them. If the floor slab were in our NY file, I could edit and close the floor and it would prompt " do you want to attach partitions to the underside........."
I would hate to have every partition run up to the floor above then offset down by the slab thickness, since the engineers haven't completely settled the slab design. We would wind up constantly fixing the partition heights.
Is there a solution I'm missing here?
