I have a 40 unit townhome development with 10 different unit styles. The units are split up over 6 buildings and the 6 buildings all sit on shared underground parking. Each unit has 3 levels (ground, 2nd and roof balcony). Every building has a different arrangement of units types. The site is sloping so every building is at a different elevation.
I tried putting a unit in a separate Revit file with ground floor at EL 0'-0" and building up from there. I then tried LINKING the unit into my parking structure master model but the problem I ran into is I couldn't find a way to map the ground floor of my unit plan to the building ground floor elevation (ie. +50'-0" for the first building). Unless I am doing something wrong, this seems like a massive short coming with Revit.
For my 2nd try, I made a GROUP out of the unit (in the unit file) and then pasted the group into the master model but its not clear to me how the floor elevations get handled (no extra levels were added to my model, at least that I am aware of). Once I get inside the unit, all I care about is floor elevations RELATIVE to the ground floor of each building (10ft,20ft,30ft) on the parkade. Furthermore, I need to be able to change the relative floor elevations within a group and have this change propagate through the entire model.
