I’m working on a hospital project and have a question on what’s the best practice of putting together multiple patient rooms together. I was thinking of creating a linked file and then inserting into our revit file. I also thought about creating a group and copying it. Do you have any suggestions? I’m also working in the new Revit Architecture 2008.

 

Thanks in advance!

I'd imagine groups would probably make more sense as you'll be able to exclude overlapping walls etc from them...

However, in 2008 its not that big of a deal as Groups and Links in revit are virtually interchangeable.
