Depending on how many hotlinks you have or need, you may end up with an enormous list of floors in your Navigator. I use the iceberg method for entire floors or dwellings. For smaller elements, I usually draw the object in place and then save a MOD file manually. As I mentioned, we have been discussing this point for years, and it has already taken far too long.
@EmmanuelF Why can't there be interaction? With the current module approach - placing .mods or .pln as modules in your main model - there is also interaction between elements. And most of the interaction is based on intersection priorities and layer intersection group numbers, which are global settings in your model/file.
@Casper Yes, with the current system this interaction exists (although it does not work very well). But if you replace the current modules with a block system (as in AutoCAD, SketchUp), it would be lost (I suppose).
Suppose we make a supergroup with a parent apartment on any floor and then copy it on other floors. Any change in the parent apartment automatically updates all linked daughter apartments. Allow linking/unlinking to manage different apartment types and sizes. This will greatly streamline updates and improve efficiency. No hotlink and editing in another file. Supergroup should be editable in the same file and have a option manager like design option manager.
