In-Place Massing and Project Orientation Inequity. Ive always stressed that people should start a project without being concerned about site alignment immediately. A recent post at RevitForum.org underscores that bias when it asked if the two project orientation tools seem to work differently? Thursday, September 06, 2012.

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.

The concept of View Discipline appeared with Revit Structure. It was meant to make it simple to alter the appearance of our model to be more in sync with what a structural engineer wants to see. Apart from the automatic graphically biased changes they make, they really just help us segregate views in the project browser.

It was tied to the project units and you had to alter a dimension style to not use the project units settings in order to use it. This means your dimension styles can continue to depend on the Project Units as well as suppress the spaces in dimension values.

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.
