reference or link sheets from other model

[Anonymous]

i have a project that is 2 seperate buildings, 2 seperate files but will be bid as one project. can i link the sheets in from one file to the other so i dont have to recreate sheets just to get them to show up in my sheet schedule

in lieu of making blank sheets in the 1 file named the same as sheets in the other file so they will schedule, i would rather link or refernce them in to save time.....

any help is appreciated

You cannot directly link the Sheets into the host Project, but you can include them in the Sheet Index. Open the Host Project's Sheet Index and go to Properties » Fields tab. Check the box for "Include elements in linked files".

what if im not linking the other file in? its basically sister buildings on seperate sites across the street but they are being bid and constructed as one project, but im am building them seperatly to aviod huge file sizes....

The only other method I can immediately think of (to keep this automated) would be to create a dedicated Project file for the Sheet Index, which both of the other Project would be linked into.
