I am tasked with modeling an entire headquaters of a business that is spead out over an entire city. Has anyone had to do this before? How do I start? Do I start with GIS map of the city? Do I just need to model each of the buildings converting them from a 2D drawing? Is this the right approach to space planning for a campus? Post edited on 2006-09-09 11:02:57

Sounds like a fun project. I would create each building as seperate Revit file and then combine them later in a site file. If you have 2d drawing to build the models and them use the GIS map to place them correctly. You should put up an image of the completed campus. By the way where is the campus?

only beware if you need to do a £D image make sure you have a fantastic machine, I had big problems with linking files, basically the drawing was too big and Revit coulnt handle it Good luck with the Campus, sounds great Will

I can't say. I would have to have you sign a non-disclosure. I am just exploring the opportunities. i plan on modeling each building in Revit from a 2d drawing. i guess I need to tap into 3d Map also. What about FM desktop? would that be the solution to maintain the the model?

I think the trick would be to use massing to creat place holders of the buildings and then map it using 3D Map.
