Hello,
I'm looking for advice on setting up/working on a project that consists of a partial demo on an existing structure, moving the remaining structure on the site, lowering it, building a new larger structure and connecting the new structure to the existing structure. Up to this point, prior to the relocation and level change, I was doing OK, with keeping the whole thing in phases for the existing structure, the demo, the "restoration" of the existing structure, and the new construction. However, I feel like the relocation and level change of the existing structure is adding a whole new level of complexity. I know that in order to relocate a structure in Revit, I need to demo the whole thing and rebuild it. Which, I guess, I can track with a relocation phase, as it's not really new construction.
However, should I keep everything in the same file, or separate the existing structure and new construction into separate files and link them?
Thanks.
Mike
