Hi there,
I am enquiring about "xref" concept in Revit.
I would like to know if it is possible to adopt such concept in Revit, I am pretty sute is possible as the xref are called families in Revit right?
I work on big industrial projects consisting of 10+ factory units development, the way we work in Autocad is by trying to make it as typical as possible, creating one typical unit plan and then xref it along the all site so we only work on one plan.
Can you do the same in Revit?
I was thinking that you could create the "typical" plans as families and then import them into the main file, but as I am not too confident with the software yet I am looking for some advice.
Is there someone which could point me in the right direction?
Thanks J

Revit does not use xrefs, you can link in consultant models and control what elements of their models show in your file. When they update their model, you can reload the link, inspect their changes and accept or reject them. Typically, the architect produces the base building file which the MEP and structural consultants link into their file. They then, just like the architect, can control how this base model is shown in their project.
Revit families are similar to Autocad blocks but families are far more powerful.
