Some weeks back I was planning on having lunch with a CAD/BIM manager from a competing firm HDR. I spent quite a bit of time at his firm consulting, and we still like to get together to discuss CAD and BIM issues. I write this post because it is really working for us and it might prove to be a great thing for you as well.

When elements in the imported/linked file are very far from the file''s origin then Revit''s ability (of all CAD software by the way) to accurately display and describe information begins to suffer. The Revit development team is a bit more fussy about this than how other software confronts us with this concern.

Today’s CAD programs allow architects to design, refine, and tinker with modules from the macro level to each tiny detail. Another common misperception is that leveraging modular components relegates the builder to a standard design, lacking color and character. This level of customizability has made the process infinitely more creative.

The instance parameter allows us to assign each copy to a unique workset while the Type parameter affects all of the copies. This also applies to other linked files (CAD,Point Cloud). That means closing the workset assigned to the Type parameter will close all of the copies of the link, none of them will be visible.

CAD drawings never become universally accepted contractual documents and the risk/liability issues of that ‘language’ are significantly less difficult than what making models ‘real’ would be.
