have Architects and Structural in-house. We've done one project with both
disciplines in one file. It's a little cumbersome to say the least but workable.
You will need to setup worksets accordingly. Since then each discipline keeps
their own central file and link the others central file into their own file. I
would recommend all three disciplines keep their own file and if need be link in
the others. The file size will be smaller. If your structural
department uses a third party product such as Risa 3d or Risa Floor etc
that import/export will be smother. One thing that is a little tricky is the
copy/monitor feature. You need to make sure your bearing walls in the
architectural file are set to structural combined.

when
you are doing the arch, mep and structural in the same firm, what is procedure
to work.
the arch has a central file on the server, does the mep and
structural need to xref link or do i need to make a separate copy file of it and
work on that.
thanks
