Which file to create sheets with multiple linked revit models?

Hello forum!

 

Something that has been bugging me for quite some time...

 

 

Currently, i have a site model, with 5 building models linked into the site model. My question is, which file should our sheets be created within? i.e. plans, elevations, sections etc. 

 

Each of the building model files have the respected floor plans and sections sheets already created, and this is the way we have been working for a while, however, to view these sheets i need to open the specific building model file. Unsure if there is a better method in doing this i.e. have all sheets/views within the same model file (this would make printing/publishing to PDF much easier as it can be done is one click as opposed to opening individual revit files)

 

Many thanks in advance (first or second post of mine, usually quite self-resourceful)

In my opinion, print sheets from each model. Each model contains also the other models of other disciplines. Use the site plan only for site-plan related views.

Thanks, Alfredo,

 

 

It will take slightly longer but i see your point. I have since realised that if i was to move a single element and issue a revised drawing, it would be much quicker if the sheet was within the building model file (prevents me needing to make a change in one file, and require to print/PDF the drawing from another).

 

It would still be nice to see all project drawings within the same file...

 

Unless there is there a method of linking sheets from one project to another, similar to that of the "insert view from file" tool.

 

Thanks for the help.
