hi guys, im trying to do a subdivision and show the followin pic as 1 complete site with 4 sites within it. revit wont let me make it as 1 set of boundary line sketches, so i have done 4 sites and moved them next to each other but the dashed lines are overlapping and doesnt look good. what is the correct way to do this? i want 1 site not 4 seperate ones. 

also;i've got 3 houses with party walls (common walls) what is the best way to document it all? as i will want seperate floor plans for each house with room to put all my dimensions but will also want to see a portion of the joining house to show the party wall etc if that makes sense. can i do the 3 in the same model and when im documenting it somehow hide off the other houses but i will have heaps of dimensions to hide aswell?! or ducplicate with detailing? halpppp thanks

thanks, ive decided i will use detail lines as the boundaries.would i be able to model the 3 dwellings (its essentially 1 building but with dividing walls between dwellings) as 1 main model. then create 3 seperate models for each dwelling, link the main model and will i be able to tag and annotate off of the main model into my seperate model? thanks

IF you break the site on the left where it joins the 3 sites on the right with 3 line segments instead of one full length segment - then the boundary lines will sit on top of each other perfectly, and will not appear as a continuous line.

OR

you could simply 'hide element in view' of the 'long' common boundary on the site on the left, will also solve the problem.

I don't understand why you don't want to put the site boundry lines in the linked modesls.  Those lines give you something to locate your units from.  The shared lot lines could be placed in seperate worsets so one could be turned off in the main model.
