File linking in Revit What sorts of complexities
are confronted by users while linking a file?

• One of the most primary and indispensable step
  that is taken by interdisciplinary design teams
  for collaborating across disciplines and for
  exchanging paramount information is to link
  different Revit files.
• This process of exchanging information and
  linking Revit files together is generally known
  as multi-discipline design coordination. The
  entire requirement for collaborating across
  disciplines is to maintain sufficient clarity on
  building design so that associated teams can
  proceed in the design development process with
  uniform or similar assumptions.

• One of the most common scenarios for linking a
  Revit file in a host project would be to
  understand the design of the linked model and
  then make crucial adjustments in the host project
  for eradicating a situation of overlapping of
  elements.
• Different kinds of complexities that occur
  during file linking
• The most common issue that is faced by BIM
  modelers when they link a Revit file within their
  project is that they have to enormously deal with
  discrepancies of linked geometry in terms of its
  positioning in the project.
• This is because most of the times the linked
  Revit model and the host Revit model do not share
  the same coordinate which leads to problems in
  the placement of linked geometry in the current
  project.

• For sorting out this file linking problem Revit
  users are suggested to select relevant file
  positioning option when they link a file in a
  model.
• So in context of above mentioned case Revit users
  are required to use Shared coordinates for
  tackling the issue.
• When multiple files are interlinked then Revit
  users make use of shared coordinates for
  recalling the positions of different interlinked
  files.
• Another problem that is faced by Revit users
  during file linking is to maintain the links of
  linked files when their host file is again linked
  to another file.

• And for managing this problem, Revit users are
  required to choose appropriate file linking
  method.
• Links incorporated in the linked file cannot be
  maintained if its host is linked to another file
  when the file is linked by using Overlay method.
• On the other hand links incorporated in the
  linked file can be easily maintained even if the
  host Revit file gets linked into another Revit
  file if Revit users have used Attachment method
  for linking the file.
