When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections. This is more pronounced if the structural slab is in the structure model only. It's a little easier to manage than reveals. Managing all the reveals could be a coordination nightmare.

IsReference settings break down like this: Not a Reference - ignored by Revit in the project environment, still useful in a family to create "the bones". Weak Reference - Seen in Project by dimensions, align tool, Revit favors Strong over Weak Strong Reference - Seen in project by dimensions, align tool and Revit sees these first.

A railing schedule will report the total length but we cant tag them with their total length. Create a shared parameter called "Egress Path", add it to your project and assign it to the railing category. Youll get their apps manager application which really makes it pretty easy to get and install them. Case-Apps to the rescue!

Dont define materials in families, define material parameters instead (or possibly sub-categories) as much as possible so materials can be assigned in a project, where they really matter. Dont include parameters in families that dont change geometry, instead put them in project templates and apply them to the categories they affect.

There isnt an easy button to just eliminate shared coordinates in a project. You can move the Survey Point back to the same spot as the Project Base Point and then use Specify Coordinates at Point to reset the coordinates the file is using. You can't turn on the Visibility of either Survey or Project Base Point in a Link.

When this happens, condensation will occur, and ice can form at temperatures below freezing.

It can be seen from within a project but not scheduled or tagged unless it is a built in parameter like those listed under the Identity group (and provided for us by Autodesk).

How tangible or detectable that performance gain really is will depend greatly on the scope of your project. This means each project should have its own workset structure based on its own conditions. There may be some worksets that many projects have in common, but it isnt the same thing as a Layer standard. Wing South.
