How do I work with hotlinks?

I need to connect a hotlink like this.
I know it's wrong.
How do I connect a hotlink to solve this?

I have replied to show you what I would do for the hotlinking of files.

But as I said I am no expert when it comes to hotliking.

 

There was no mention in this post of storeys or heights being an issue.

But I believe you can ignore storey levels when placing a hotlink - but as I said in my reply, I rarely use them.

 

Hopefully linking them as I have shown (ignoring storey levels if they are all different), will allow you to place each building at the correct height in relation to the parking.

However, this method causes problems in the story.
Each building star story is different. This is because there are three different starting heights, and the height of the first floor is different depending on the situation.
In All, I think it is correct to use Story only under the underground parking lot GL.

If the problem in the GDL and hotlink parts that I asked is not resolved,
Looks like I'll have to do a double job.

Can I test it more and ask a question?

Oh whoops. My bad Barry. It was one of the first link that came up on google. Didn’t notice the SSA disclaimer.

These are the settings I was referring to.

Ignore storey heights of the host - keep storey structure of hotlink.

 

The height offset can be set to what is needed or I believe it can be adjusted once the hotlink have been placed.

 

The overall plan view may not be correct if you are trying to look at all of the buildings with the parking at the same time.

Purely because the same floors will be at different physical levels - there is not much you can do about that.

But floor plan wise, you would get the information from the individual building FILES.

If you need the parking in the building plan, maybe you can overlay a drawing in the layout.

 

Section wise and 3D wise though, the parking with all of the buildings linked in should be correct.

I find stability in conversations with you.
I feel that I am not alone now because of my interest in solving my problems. So always thank you

I found this.
There is no problem in the basement floor plan for each dong because there is no connection part.
I need to connect the ground floor in this drawing and the basement floor outside in the layout... The end of the wall seems to be a problem.
Any solution?

Revit, autocad ends when everything starts in the command.
Archicad starts with how to use it, so my head gets complicated. ^^

sorry.
I am very weak in English.
So I am only talking to you through a translator.
Please understand my weak English skills. ^^

Yes you use that to place drawings (views) to your layout from an external file.

Placing drawings, they will not connect in any way.

All you can do is lay one drawing on top of or next to another drawing.

Only in the 3D model will the walls connect.

@LeeJaeYoung   Is this what you are attempting if you are looking sectionally through the mountain? 

Or does the base carparking run connected underneath all buildings?

Will any of the floor levels between the different buildings match?

Are the floor to floor heights of all the buildings the same?

1. Each ground floor has a different floor level.
2. Each 1st and 2nd floor have different heights.
