I have a project here with 2 retail buildings and a site plan. I have a separate model file for each building and another file for the site plan. The two buildings are linked into the site. My buildings have interior lights grouped per tenant. The problem is when I am in the site plan and go to render and only want to turn on lights for a couple of the rented spaces the light groups that I set up in the building model files wont show up and it basically shows that I either have to have all lights on or off. I havent tried to render yet, so who knows maybe they wont even work at all. Any advice? Was liking these buildings into the site the correct way or is there a better way? I am not new to Revit, but dont have any experience using the linking feature with multiple buildings. Any help would be greatly appretiated. Thanks in advance. Oops...I forgot, I am using Revit version 2011

treeves1968 ... BTW - ReviCity forums does have an oops command <GRIN> - rather than re-posting, you can click on the down arrow on the right of your post and edit you post if you need to. Did you try linking your site into your building and rendering from that? That is what we do.

WWHub, well no I didnt think to try that. I guess I could try that. I am starting to wonder if both of my buildings should have been in the same file?

No, I think you did right in keeping them and your site seperate. Who knows, maybe one building has to be sited 6" lower than the other. Now you will have to have double the about of levels in your project - different ones for each building....

Actually what I meant was I wondered if both buildings should have been in one file, and the site in another. Right now I have the buildings in separate files (2 buildings = 2 files + the site). Not real sure the best way to tackle the multiple buildings on the same site thing. It's probably like anything else where there are several ways to accomplish something, but some way(s) are always better than others. Hopefully that made sense.
