Hi,I am working on a project with lots of buildings. And it is impossible to work in one revit file. Anyway, the problem is; when i change a family or the customer asks a revision for a family in project, it is really tiring job to open and load every changed family to every building. Is there any way to work with families like "Xref" in Autocad? So thus, when i change a family; automatically it will load it the buildings i attached that family file before. Or something like that. I am open any other suggesstions except that "open all buildings together, check them on popup and load it once."

The only possibility is to create some sort of script to do this because the file has to be opened and the family loaded.  Maybe someone has something elsewhere but I have not seen anything here.
