large hotel w/ 6 room types (revit links) copied to total of 200 rooms-model is very slow to work on

[jledgewood409]

it been brought to my attention that a team in my firm is working on a large hotel w/ 6 room types (revit links) copied to total of 200 rooms. there is a shell model where these room links are linked into. we then give said model (shell with 6 room types (revit links) to our consultants (MEP, Struct. etc.) on their end it is very slow as well. on our end when we try to flip door swing in the shell model it takes over 5 minutes for that command to be completed,

has anyone worked on a project with the same or similar parameters/issues?

I worked with this kinf of projects and maybe the best way is spliting the links by levels then copy in the central model the levels that repeat along height

In the level links for room types we have created model groups to can array them. when we need to do some changes we're going to the links then when open the central model changes show updated.

Also you have to tho think in the best fracturation mode for those projects. 

1. Architecture walls floors celilings.... only in one link?
2. Furniture in Another link?

Could be working depends the weigth of your families or project

In this model as you can see the split working good because the central model weigth less than all links contained.
