Hello all,
I am currently doing preliminary designs for a grouping of townhouses. For now, I am only modeling one building and the site, but eventually there will be 4 identical buildings on the site. I've been reading that others are saving each building to its own file, and linking them to a site plan which is also on a seperate file. Is it possible to save each building as a group? This would surely affect my performance. I'm open to all strategies!
(Currently using Revit 2011)

What would a group do for you? This is a very bad idea and will not do anything for you.
If the buildings are exactly the same, you only need one building file. The question is, do you really need to combine them into your site model? If so, then I suggest you model them using worksets and only have the building shell on for the linked site locations.

I figured that saving the model as a group wouldn't be the best direction. Creating building shell workset as we speak.

Why would you make a GROUP out of the BUILDINGS ? A linked in model is already like a "group"
What you should have is a separate SITE PLAN model.
Into this you LINK in your BUILDING model(s) [ one or more ] and place them as required [ elevation and direction ]
Then any change(s) to the Building Model will be updated in all the models in your SITE model. If one of the buildings needs to be re-designed, SAVEAS a new model ( ie: BLDG A copied as BLDG B ] then re-link that one to replace as required.
