When architects and structural engineers work in Revit, do architects duplicate the structural elements in their own models (ie. model their own slabs, columns, foundations, structural steel etc), or do they use the structural engineers model as a permanent link in their models, forming part of the documentation? Which is the correct way or which is the norm?
We have worked both ways depending on the complexity of the project. The problem we often run into when using the structural engineer's model as a permanent link, we sometimes progress ahead of the engineer in terms of documentation which means we need to edit the structural model, or sometimes the engineer has not quite modeled something correctly, or there are overdue amendments in the structural model.
Any comments welcome...
Are you guys the same person, evil twins, normal twins, or just coincidentally posting the same question?
Regardless, I am inline with the recommendation on the other same thread - not duplicating or copy/monitoring other disciplines' elements into my models. Not saying that I have never done it, or will not be doing it. But I try to avoid it as much as I can.
I've heard Revit Server or C4R are the savior to this problem but I have not had the luxury to use either, alas.
