Hey guys, I have a question. I have already built a couple houses, but me and a couple friends opened up a new project, where we're working with workshare. It's everything working, but a few guys, including me, wondered if we can import our existing houses into the central model, because we want to build a small town/neighborhood.

Could anybody help us with that or tell us, if it works, how?

Thanks, Phil

Don't import, link in your other models.

Linked projects are all editable in their own project.   In a composite model with seperate linked projects, all of the linked models can be seen and visually controlled, individually but can no be edited there.

As long as you link, not insert.  Do you understand that difference?   If not, you can / should learn more by reading about linking in your HELP.  That's why it is there.
