copy sheets from one revit file to another

I have an architectural revit model and a plumbing revit model. How can I combine both the models into a single model such that the sheets also get copied. Like I have a sheet "X" in Architectural Model and same sheet I have in plumbing model, I want to combine both the sheets such that in architectural model having "X" sheet, both the architectural as well as plumbing is visible.

If you combine the models, you may have to redo all of your view settings for the views that go on sheets, old and new.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Link the files together, both disciplines will be visible, keep the sheets in their host files?

I don't believe you can. You can keep the views and sheets from the first model, but as @RobDraw  mentioned, you will need to remake any views and sheets from the model your merging. 

 

IF the sheets are blank, no views or anything in them, you may be able to use the Insert from File tool to bring the blank sheets in from one model to the other. You can also bring in Drafting Views and Schedules from using Insert from file as well. But you will still need to recreate plan views, sections, etc... and reassemble your sheets. once your views are remade, you may be able to open both models in the same session and copy/past annotation form one model to the other.

You can link the model in, create a sheet index schedule, and check include elements in links.

Its also not just a case of copying the sheets, you'd need to copy the views as well, including copying all of the tags and annotations etc. I've done it a couple of times on smaller projects and its a pain in the proverbial.

Unless you really need all of the sheets in one model, I would keep them separate and link the files as suggested above.
