In a project with linked buildings, do you have a seperate file that you link into a file link as if it was a building, or does the compiled plan bring in the buildings, but the site is part of that file.

I would think that having the site info that connects to 2 building should be in the compiled plan, but i am wondering if there are any performance or documentation advantages to having it in a seperate file.

Thanks

Justin

How is everyone doing this? I've been wondering this myself... currently working on a subdivision (into 3 lots) and started off doing the site in the compilation file, but found it tiresome going back and forth between the site and house files adjusting topography, shifting pads, etc so ended up cutting and pasting the site topography into the linked file. This though is not entirely satisfactory either as the connecting driveway and landscaping is in the main file and I find that I'm having to go back and forth again...
