I work for a firm that uses multiple offices within the corporate structure to complete single projects. We are rolling out Revit and having some debate as to how the architectural modeling should be set up when the work is spread out all over the country, and in some cases, the world. For any given project we might have the core and shell designed in one office, the interiors in another, stairs and other details done in another. Any ideas? I hate to break the model up into pieces - defeats the purpose of using Revit in the first place.

Link each offices file into the others... have one "central" central file located on a server where everyone can access it, in this "central" file, would be where you have your sheets, and link in all of the other branches files. Depending on project size, and speed available for download, everyone could work in the same file, just check out worksets explicitely, and then work in your local file. Then when needed, or every so often, publish those changes by saving to central. Your biggest problem from my experience is file size vs. bandwidth. We have a file size of over 200Megs, so our consultants are downloading a whole lot of file... If there are departments within the project you guys are doing, consider splitting the project up along those lines, have the shared walls (occupation seperation walls) and external walls, structural floors etc. in your "Central" file, and then allow each office to have their own "local" central file which would be the department they are working on. Once again, all the sheets would be in the "Central" central file... Hope I didn't confuse too much, but hoping to help.

We have multiple offices and have not tried to cross the boundry with REVIT because the network is too slow due to encryption. You can check-out worksets and work independently at risk but I think this has many problems. You can test that process and keep us informed .... we would all be interested in your process. If you do it in that manner, everything should be available to see for everyone but you can't cross the line on the worksets. Someone in the central location just has to coordinate remote file uploads then downloads. (This should still be a better process then what you currently have.) We are test driving an accelerator in the next couple of weeks that may enable us to work in one central file. That unit costs 85k I think.
