I have noticed that when I get architectural models with excessive grouping that they bog down my MEP models. I try to keep the my linked architectural model as clean as possible and one thing that seem to help is breaking up groups. Open the architectural model and expand groups in the project browser.

I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. If your wish would come true, what would your one wish be for eigher AutoCAD MEP or Revit MEP? I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models.

Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model.

When you have a large project and you want multiple users editing a project at the same time you have to impliment Worksets because Revit typically keeps all project data in a single project file unlike Autocad where we typically separate the project into multiple files. All of your model objects will initially reside in Workset 1.
