 Hello. I am working on a Small (6000 sq. ft) Residence in revit 2010 and our Structural engineer does not use Revit. My office asked me to build 
the Architectural Model and the Structural Model in the Same file, really virtually prototyping the home. I'm installing all the TJI's
 Structural Columns, Roof Rafters, the File seems to be getting a little sluggish, but overall its working out ok. Does anyone else have experience
with this way of doing a project, and would anyone reccomend splitting the files and linking them instead of keeping them in the
same file? thanks for any comments and ideas

I've got to believe that on this project you should be just fine but I know nothing about your system because you don't give that information.

my system is a Dell Computer with Intel dual Quad Core Processors 2.8 GHZ, running Windows XP 64-bit, currently with 4 GB of Ram and should 

be upgrading to 8 GB this week, Thanks for your input, some people seemed fearful of placing a structural and architectural file together.

 the Legal responsibility aspect could get vague, but our structural Engineers are in house, so hopefully that should alleviate that problem.

 thanks again
