Hotlinking 3 files into a site plan, Question about the angle they should be modeled.

Cheers, all!

Sorry if this is a noob question but I'm new to Hotlinking and still don't understand it very well

I Have a main Teamwork file where I have a site plan including new grades. and I'm planning to hotlink 3 other teamwork files (these attached files could be turned into PLNS if that helps the process)
1) Building A1,
2) Building B1 B2 are the same design and angle but different location and elevation
3) Buildings C1 to C4 are similar (baseball dugouts) but have a variant in the type of door used and have different positions, angles and elevation ( C4 and C2 are the same, C3 has a different door, and C1 does not include a storage or door)

The Individual models for the buildings I currently have for Building A1and B1, B2 are placed on the Archicad X origin in the corner of the right angle shown in the attached image with the noted angle.

In the case of Buildings C (baseball dugouts with slight variants-300Sq.Ft. each) their angles change. Should I model them at angle 0º and rotate them upon insertion to the main file, or do I need to create an individual file for each one?

Thanks in advanced

You can rotate, elevate, etc modules, however the real problem is with story settings on a sloping terrain.
