How can I link one revit file trough different BIM360 Projects

Hi all! 

The context: In the company I work we build the same residential buildings in different cities so, we have one BIM360 Project  in wich the models of those buildings are developed and documented - it's a BIM360 Project containing only building templates. (I believe there is a word in english for these "repeated" buildings, here in Brasil we call them typologies).

 

My question: Is there a way I could Link Revit these building templates in the "real world" BIM 360 Projects using the Link Revit feature? In other words: how can I link one revit file trough different BIM360 Projects?

 

The objective: The ideia is having something like a Building Portifólio so any changes, revisions and updates made in one model would propagate throughout different projects.

 

Thanks!!

Have you tried any of these

As long as you have your permissions set correctly and the project you are in is under the  same account on BIM360 I do not see why you can not achieve this.

It would be awesome to be able to do this through HUBs as well.  If a design team is working on a DB and the GC has their HUB with the Coordination Module. Using Autodesk's recommended direction of creating a Coord. model uploaded to the Plans Folder and having the design team models (from a different HUB) linked in to create coord. views. would be a great collaboration effort of all teams while everyone is taking advantage of BIM 360 toolsets. I believe it would promote more sales if collaboration could take this route.

Yes!  This ought to be simple.  Example: we do models from laser scans.  Our trade partners need to link them into their models, so the scan to BIM model needs to be shared on our 360 hub and project.  Design team also needs it linked to their models, which are shared on their hub and project.  

This OUGHT to be simple, but I can't figure out any graceful way to get it done.
