I'm looking for advice on working with a very large site (900,000 sq m) with multiple buildings. We are setting up a central files for the site and each of the buildings on the project. We will link each of the files as needed.
Working with the site itself is becoming cumbersome. As I am creating subregions to create the roads, parking lots, & sidewalks, it is taking Revit a long time to regenreate the model. And I know as I have to add in more of these subregions, working with the site model is just going to get worse. Additionaly, the site plan is still changing in regards to both coutouring and location of sidewalks and parking.
As I see it there are a few options:
1. Split the site into sections and have each of these sections on their own workset.
2. Split the site into sections and each of these sections in a different central file.
With each of these options I lose the ability for the coutours to be adjusted across the entire site. I would them have to go into each section and adjust the coutours so the entire site fits together.
Are these my only options? How would you suggust working with a site this large? What is the largest site that Revit can deal with and still allow the user to be productive (vs. twiddling my thumbs as I wait for the model to regenrate)?
