BIMx hyper model and separate Documentation file

Andrew Swenson

So I have a project where I've created a model file and separate files to be layout books for my DA & Construction drawings.

I would like to create a BIMx Hyper Model to hand over to the Builder so that he is able to move from 2D drawings to the 3D model while briefing his sub contractors etc.

However it seems like I can't do this with my set-up.

Am I correct in assuming that everything needs to be in the same file for the functionality of BIMx Hyper Models to work?

If yes then I'm thinking the work around is to merge my Construction Document file with the 3D model file.

I have not tried this but I think you are correct in concluding that they need to be in the same file.
When creating a hyperlinked BIMx file, ARCHICAD generates the 3D model, plus it generates the Layouts, plus it generates the Markers into the 3D Model that point to those Layouts. But with your current setup the 3D model and the Layouts are in 2 separate files so it cannot do that.
