Sure this has cropped up before but no epiphanies after search.
You can schedule linked file elements but I cannot see how you can tag them.
And we still need to see this tagging of walls in section and elevation.
I am making tagging the basis of my documentation system because text notes are dumb. A tag will update when you swap a wall type etc.
It relates the schedules to the drawings and vice versa. This will be extremely important when the two way databasing is ironed out (e.g. Project Coordination, API's ) for working out bills of quantities and doing specifications and building code checking.
So if many of your projects are low density multi unit projects on undulating topography (with a few cliffs now and then) the only way is to tag the individual linked files and produce a separate set of drawings. This is where I think the philosophy of linked files is premised.
But is it the best way to present to clients, consultants and builders and to get your drawings stamped by local authorities a?
