Multiple Buildings One Site?

Anonymous
Not applicable
All the work I have done so far has been with single buildings. I have some projects coming up that will include multiple houses (16 & 25). I have heard of people doing this wth success. I have also seen screen shots of this. I want to plan ahead and make shure I lay out the project correctly (stories) from the start! I would greatly appreciate any input on this subject. Do I draw the buildings seperatly in different pln. files? and then merge them somehow? Whats the secret? Thanks again!!

Keep in mind though that if you do use modules (and I guess hotlinks also), the SEO information apparently doesn't transfer. See this discussion at http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=1928&highlight=

Then again, maybe/hopefully hotlinks are different.
I've used SEO on a part of a building and then hotlinked it so it could be duplicated in other areas of the building. It worked. Although the hotlink was within the same project I cant see why it wouldnt work going to another project.

From my experience, SEO works if using merge but not the case when place as module.
