Two parallel connected Models

[jakob.kapun]

Hello everyone,

I am interested if anyone has experience with developing and managing two parallel Models that are connceted - my idea is Monitoring/Copy.

My objective is to create:

1. internal model with height detail of families - curtain wall panels, prepared for manufacturing LOD400.

2. external model low detail of families - curtain wall panels, prepared for collaboration with other parties, LOD200.

I am particularly interested how these models can be efficiently linked or syncronized to ensure consistency and accuracy across both levels.

Has anyone tackled a similar challenge? If so, could you share your approach, the tools you found most effective, and any lessons lerned of best practices for managing these parallel models?

Thank you in advance for your advice and shared experience!

Why do you think this is necessary or ideal?

The primary reason I started exploring this topic is that I have received several requests from clients to reduce the complexity of our curtain wall families. Currently, they are designed to include elements necessery for manufacturing, which does not interest the client.

Now I face a challenge because clients demand less detailed families and specific informations in families that are important for their use. However, to optimize our internal process, current families would still need ti be upgraded with elements/information that are irrelevent to the client but would expedite our data processing up to production.

With this solution, I believe I can solve this problem by providing external model open to add information accoring to each clients request, while the internal models can be prepared in detail for production without limitations for external use.
