Revit - Linking Model or Sharing the Same Model
Revit - Linking Model or Sharing the Same Model
(OP)
It seems as though linking a model between Arch and SE is the preferred way to go when the Arch and SE are not in the same company. However I was wondering if anyone uses a shared model with worksets when you are acting as a consultant to the Arch located in a different office?
Thanks!
Thanks!

From my understanding you can set up "worksets" so that the SE can work on the structural system and basically send updates into the core model as we/they work. Anyone tried this? I'm assuming the model would need to be on a shared server.

I suppose if you were an A/E this could be a good strategy to save resources, but for an independent engineering company I would need convincing before trying it!
If you do attempt it, re-post on here how it worked. It could be we are missing out on some advantage I just am not aware of.

The first time something is missing from the architect's model, they are going to come looking for you. Also, this gives them the opportunity to move your structure without knowing it. And dont think an architect intern wont do that kind of thing. Even with worksets, its still possible.
Good luck.
