I have a co-worker who is working on a project that consists of several buildings on a site. I recommend that he have separate files for each building and a separate file for the site/ topography (Master). that he link the building files into the Master (site/topography )file. he was hoping to have one set of details that can be used for all the buildings. 1. is this an efficient way of handling this (each bldg. separate & separate site)? 2. how would you recommend utilizing details between buildings?

I have not seen a good solution for this other than putting all of the details in a project with a reserved set of view numbers/sheet numbers then using fake sheets in your main project that match this seperate file and referring your callouts accordingly. 

I don't like that process so I always import those details into my host file.  That's really not much of an issue if you are not changing these details.
