Hello Augi Members,
I’m starting to plan for the next phase of a large multi-building project and could us some guidance on what’s the best way to handle moving the project into the detailed design phase.
Currently, the conceptual design involves 9 smaller buildings that are all part of a larger single overall building “campus”. Each smaller building is currently associated with its own Revit file and all are linked into a “Master” Revit file so all building components can be shown as one large single building.
When inside the master file, everything looks great but the file is hard to work with on due to the loading speed of everything ( fyi, Our office uses Revit 2012, a 1GB network, and Win7x64 12GB RAM workstations)
What I would like to do is continue to use the “Master” file as my team’s central file but somehow manage this file to a level where my team can work in it efficiently. I’d like to manage all detailed design drawing sheets for all 9 linked buildings within this one central file. Is it a matter of just unloading worksets and unloading entire buildings from the central file or is there a better way to help speed things up? I’m trying to minimize time and redundancy by using a single central file to set everything up.
If anyone with any experience with working on large multi-building projects such as this could lend some guidance on the best way to approach this I would greatly appreciate hearing from you!
