      • Tags

      • Keynotes

      • Dimensions

      • Linked Federated file for unit boundary set to "Overlay"

• Template - Federated

  • The concept of Federated is to start with everything in one file and remove each element one at a time on a case by case basis.

    • Considerations for the possibility of taking elements out of Federated

      • Reuse

      • Complexity

      • BIM - first-order data to schedules (more nesting equals less BIM data schedules)

      • Start one way and split - this means to start simple for speed and consistency, then split for complexity

      • Automatic coordination

• For the Federated template, units are to be removed from the base file to be standalone links

  • For this reason and others, Federated will consist of sheet views and linked views
