New project

[Anonymous]

Team,

What is your view on this situation? Do any of you have experience in managing something similiar? what would you recommend?

In this new project we are working on, it is going to have the office bldg wrapping up beside and then over the parking garage. We’re spacing the floors on level 1-5 so that basically its 2 levels of garage per 1 level of building. Now for managing stories on this thing, do you know of any way around doing this? It's a 10 story building but the first 5 levels will incluse 2 levels of Parking for each floor.

Would it be best to seperate this in two files? and then hotlink them. Any help would be appreciated.

mate, I like your signature but you should expand it:

hey - sorry if you were offended by anything I said. I don't think anything I've said warrants that. Though I actually use v10 at the moment. There are times I go back and use 7 though - as it can be more effective. But there's really no reason to act like an ass on a public forum. I

There are as many solutions as there are people ... that's called flexibility. As they say in the car ads, your mileage may vary or YMMV.

However, you should think about an upgrade if economically viable - and the two version upgrade usually is. 10 started a new generation of ArchiCAD, that is being built upon, so ... it is worth checking out at least.

I just am working on a similar project as described - garage with half levels and adjacent housing with the main levels at a level half above grade. It turned out to use the one file with the stories as Laura indicated - it makes for easier management of the module insertion and using a story naming convention that is easier to relate to keeps the mind working as the model. We will see if continuing with this set up works.
