In those scenarios, it's common for you to organize your work into more than one Revit file and to link those together for coordination purposes. So, in this video, I'm going to demonstrate the multi building scenario by linking in a small outbuilding off to the side of this model. I will talk And in the next video, about the discipline multi discipline coordination scenario. So, we're going to get started the same way we did with other file formats, and that is to go to the insert tab and look for the link Revit button. So, we can just simply click that to begin the process. Now the file that I want to link is called shed. So, I'm going to select that. And the only real option that we have to configure here…
