thanks for the suggestion,
i did think about adding the toilet module into the master document. i just thought doing that way meant that, if i did any changes to to the toilet modules in the model files, i would do the same to the master document. i was hoping of skipping that second amendment. but i guess that's the way i'm heading. thanks again!

why would you need to? if you do it once in one file, updating the module handles it in the other files? in fact, why do you need a separate toilet file at all? why not attach it to one or the other files . . ?
maybe i really am misunderstanding you here?

no no no, i do understand...i meant that if say, i do change the position of a toilet module itself, i would only have to do it once, in the module file.
or maybe i'm just being lazy

what about my suggestion above?Ben, your diagram is really helpful. I have a similar situation, and I'm not sure if it applies to my case as well.
I have a project with 3 separate buildings (5+5+4 unit 2 story townhouses). Of course, they will share a lot of common details. There is about 5 different unit types, but they are slightly different also, depending on where they are on the building (edge or middle).
It seems that because of these slight differences and limited number of repeating units, it might be better off for me to model each building w/o the use of "unit" modules.
Since there are three buildings however, I am thinking of doing each building as a separate PLN file, and bring them into a site PLN file, because the building orientations in the site plan are different from how I'd like to show each floor plan.
I'm not sure exactly however, where to do the "documentation" portion - text, dimensions, etc. Also, in which file should I do the detail call outs & details? Should I hotlink the buildings as modules or PLN files?
Still looking?
