Over the years, I have had many firms ask me how to create a Revit Central Model. Therefore, I thought I would put it all down in one place for reference.
The example below is from the point of view of an Architectural firm. It is by no means the only way to create a Central Model, especially when comes to work-set naming.
I hope you find this helpful.
