Advice on typical floors / building Core?

[stefan.l]

Hi,
I am starting a tall office building, with typical floors where the building core is identical, and have several questions for how to best build it in Revit. Does anyone have advice?

For scheduling purposes, all the floors need to be fully furnished with doors, and fixtures, unless there is a work-around for that?

Would a group of the core, containing walls, doors, and fixtures work best, or should the walls run up through the whole building and the doors/fixtures be inserted individually?

Is there any difference between floor-based families vs. wall-based families for the fixtures?

Thanks

Definatly make a group.

Thanks.

I know my question sounds simple and banal, but I'm trying to figure out what other people's experience has been. in our previous project, we had a similar situation, and there was a lot of time spent opening, closing, and propagating changes to the "typical floor core" group.

Are there any tricks to make this faster? this time i'm thinking of breaking the core into smaller groups, i don't know if this will adversely affect wall joins or something else though.

I also switched the toilets to be wall based, it seemed logical to me, since they are literally mounted to a wall, but I wanted to hear if anyone thinks differently.
