Now there's a variety of reasons why this is done, but when you want to coordinate your efforts across multiple files, what you do is you use Revit linking, so linking is quite simply the process of taking one Revit project and inserting it into another, and it maintains a link back to the original. When that original file changes you're able to reload that link and capture those changes, so there's a few scenarios where this is really common. The most common scenario is to coordinate among different disciplines, so the architect will have a model, and the structural engineer I'll have their model, and the mechanical engineer will have their model, and then we'll use linking to coordinate all of our efforts among those different disciplines. Another really common scenario is when you have more than one building on the same site, so you'll make each building as its own separate Revit model and…
