Revit link re-load

[steve]

It may be helpful (or obvious) to others that, if you have a Revit site plan model, and two building models revit-linked into it.    You insert buildings A and B into the site plan model.   And insert the site plan model ONLY into each building, A and B.  COtherwise there is a circular reference and updates to A and B won't function properly.

Are you linking as Attached instead of Overlay? Change them to Overlay and you can link A to B and B to A etc. That part of the point of shared coordinates, to permit linking adjacent buildings to each other so they can be seen in documentation dedicated to one or the other building. Revit will complain if you try to open the models in the same session of Revit because in that situation it recognizes the circular relationship between them. Use a separate session of Revit for each building and you can have more than one or all open to work on. You'll still have to reload links to see their updates in the other models, naturally.

I have a site plan with 2 buildings (separate revit models)  <insert/link revit> into a site plan project.   When the building models are revised, (unfortunately) this doesn't update to the site plan model (am I right?) without <manage-links / reload> of the updated model in.  The problem was that one cannot <manage links / reload> to update both models at once. 

AND/OR one cannot <revit-link> the site plan and the other structure into the 2 structures' revit-models.  

Agree?
