I've been asked to look a ways to make our room data process more efficient. Currently, all of the design information for the room gets entered into an excel sheet and lives separately from the room. We'd like all that data to live in the model, but I was a little concerned overloading the model with data.
I'd be looking at adding about 30 shared parameters to the rooms category for users to fill out.
I did a test on a decent sized project with about 330 rooms and filled out all of the data (I should note, I did them all as text parameters) and applied it to the rooms. When i saved, it'd seemed to only add about 1MB to the file size. Which made me rather excited at first. But then I thought maybe I'm missing something.
Which leads me to my question.
Dose anyone know if there's a correlation between file size and the number of shared parameters you might have filled out.
My plan was to have all of the room information live in the design model, but link it to a separate model to generate views, sheets and schedules for each room in a separate model. So really all I'm doing is adding about 30 room parameters to a model and filling them out.
Wondering if I'm missing anything here. Or should I have that information live in a separate model along with the views and printable sheets.
Thanks in advance!
