Now this is a long shot...

 

We often need to have 2 or 3 linked models and it would save considerable amounts of time if these could be edited from within each other (much like the group editor).

 

Lots are going to ask why so this is why:

We are medium size FF&E contractors, our work consists of both fixed and loose furniture, when working on a project we are often provided with 2 models, the building and the M & E models which we link into our projects.

 

We create pdf & DWG layouts of the rooms we are working in and we also often supply our furniture model to the main contractor & Architect for visual and renders etc and also to the other subcontractors for clash detection etc.

 

The architect/main contractor want everything (fixed and loose furniture) but the subcontractors only want the fixed (as the loose simply clutters up their model).

We have no use for a central model as we currently only have a single person at any one time working on it and that is an entirely unnecessary complication, in addition worksets would only solve part of the issue.

 

To achieve what we want we create 3 models, a fixed furniture model, a loose furniture model and a drawing sheet model, this means we can use them as follows:

Fixed model - can be issued to the other subcontractors very quickly without having to delete all the views, 3D views, schedules and drawings

Loose model - as above can be issued with the above to the Main contractor/Architect for display to the client

Drawing Sheet model - contains sometimes hundreds of views, sheets, schedules etc that we can use to issue our drawings from

 

If anyone can suggest a better workflow I would love to hear it.
