Hi I hope I am using the correct forum category. I am managing a Revit project in melbourne, australia a vccc hospital in fact.

The model is constructed of links by level so it's a horizontal model that was requested by architects.

I have some young chappies modelling happily away by level and now the stairs and their cores have taken a long time

to model by level but we have to do it this way for data extraction and so that links don't get forgotten.  Now I am going to

change to modelling a vertical model as this hasn't worked. How should this be implemented?

Should it be a separate linked file or should it be placed on the lowest level and linked in? Will this affect the data extractors who wan't 

to tag and keynote levels? What if people forget to link in the stairs?

There is an architect at work who constantly puts in and takes out stairs as he doesn't understand that level 0 needs

to be linked in to see stairs,lifts floors below at level 1 and etc for all above levels, can someone provide a solution for this?

many thanx,

desparate BIM manager

You don't have to have seperate projects for each level. << That's a very limited CAD thought process.

Firstly thanx for taking the time for Revit noobs,

Though a point of contention...

And that is it's not BIM then is it?

I can't do a cost estimate for continuous walls, even though the engineers will eventually take control of our model them and we can't control the modelling, they have a vertical sectored model of the VCCC.

How can I be overlord of data extraction when the walls are one like shazam's ring, I need walls separated by level?

please help
