I have 3 Revit models,
Currently [b] and [c] are revit-linked via bim-360 into [a] the site plan
I want to create a site plan within the working drawing set of [b] so I want to linke [a] into [b] ... while separately [b] is linked into [a]. so...
I want to make...
Is there a downside to this?

Ensure your linked files are set to "Overlay" to prevent circular references. Additionally, consider creating a site plan within your site model and then establish a site view that is linked by view to all building models. This approach will maintain a single source of truth for site information and graphics, ensuring consistency across all building model documentation.
Consider using a different approach, such as using a single model as the primary reference and managing the other models as separate linked files without creating a circular reference.
If you proceed with the circular linking, establish clear protocols for updating and managing the models to minimize potential issues.
Regularly review and audit the models to ensure consistency and promptly address any issues.
It's essential to weigh the benefits against the potential downsides and ensure your team is prepared to manage the additional complexity.
Thanks for the lucid response. I have done as you say under "different approach". I have a "parent" site model with "child" building models. As you can imagine, I need to create a site plan within the "child model's" drawing sets. And have sections and so forth linked within the "child" models, so no choice but to link back the parent model into it. That ends up a bit of a mess, as notes from the "parent" don't come into the "child" but can work around that.
