Models shall initially be created as isolated, single-user files. The model will be sub-divided as additional members of the design team are introduced. In order to ensure better hardware performance, users shall only open portions/models that contain current objects of interest. No other views than necessary for the current task shall be created. All models and their portions (worksets) shall be named in accordance with the established rules. All project participants shall regularly save their work and synchronize models with central location, so as to provide actual information to other stakeholders. In addition, this minimizes risk of data loss. Linked files shall be included into their own worksets. Users shall prefer creating links, avoiding file import. Synchronization procedure shall be defined in the BEP. 5.2 Using Links Using links allows leveraging additional geometry and data in your designs. They can represent either portions of a design that is too large to manage, or data of another discipline that may be developed by a contractor. Some models require splitting of one object into several more manageable parts, which are then reassembled into a single file i.e. a consolidated model. As an example of creation of such file, we can consider creation of a consolidated model in Navisworks®, which aggregates files of different design disciplines created in Revit®. If the model data is segregated into individual files, the following guidelines need to be observed: Tasks shall be distributed between participants in order to minimize the need to switch between files. When using links, model should lie in the correct location respective to the pre-agreed system coordinates in the base file. Links between design disciplines Each individual discipline involved into the project should have its own model and carry responsibility for it. Model developed by a discipline can refer to the model of other disciplines in coordination purposes.
