Currently working on a project with 8 large revit files, It is MASSIVE residential project. Each building is different but they share the same details and language. We need this feature desperately.

 

I see it as two options you document EVERYTHING in one file and hope your computer doesn't melt or you do some form of dummy tags(CAD overlays, dummy sheets, custom tags, etc).

 

The first option really bogs down the model requires lots of reloading/permission relinquishing/ tagging issues/scheduling conflicts/joining issues. And it doesn't allow the ability to directly work on a "live" model on the sheet so to speak. Not to mention everything must be modeled correctly and very clean and the larger and complex the project/team the harder that becomes.

 

The second option allows one to document everything in the corresponding file which makes sense, you don't want to document BLDG-1 inside of BLDG-2. However once you show an overall plan or reference a typical detail/wall section that exists in another file there are no options. You either recreate a dummy sheet and dummy view or do some for of this manual referencing that has to be constantly updated. At this point Revit has reverted back 10 years.

 

The ability to do this almost already exists in Revit (by linked view) it just doesn't allow annotation reference to access this part of the API. Why not?
