Hi I am working in the early stages of sharing a 5 story building model with another architectural firm over an FTP site. I have heard that this kind of sharing involves a really fast connection. Question # 1: Has anyone had experience splitting up the model in this situation? Am I better off splitting by floors? by shell and interior? Question # 2: Would there be 2 central files in a split model, or could 1 central file reside on the FTP? Thanks

My question to this subject is:  Is there a way to not include a dwg import in the model when uploading to an ftp site?  The only way I can think of not including it would be to remove the link and save as another file and then upload that file.  Was hoping there was a way around doing this.  RA2009

When you load a CAD file, you have an option of Link instead of Import.  If you do this, the file remain externally.  You can load/unload it at anytime but the location will remain unless you sever the link.  Thus - you can keep the model seperate and only FTP that if you want.

The dwg is an import in my titleblock that is loaded in my model.  I just tried to link it into the titleblock family but it will only let me import and not link.  Is there a way to control the imports of families in the model?
