The primary issue we faced was related to sharing the master Revit file. We would upload our individual files to Discord, and then one person had to consolidate them into the master file. The downside of this approach was that only one person could work on the master file at a time, causing inefficiencies. 

Another Revit-related problem that we encountered was the compatibility between different release years. Some group members were using different year versions of Revit, and we discovered that sharing Revit files created in different years was not feasible. As a result, those with the 2024 version had to redownload Revit and recreate their floor plans, resulting in a significant loss of time.

A separate time-consuming issue revolved around aligning the outer walls on each floor plan. Since each person's floor plan wasn't measured in the same way, when we stacked the layers, the outer walls did not align correctly. 

Similarly, there was confusion regarding wall measurements because the MUB as-built drawings did not accurately depict wall thickness. This, coupled with uncertainty about whether to use structural or architectural walls, further prolonged the process of aligning the walls.

Our group also encountered performance issues with our computers. One member experienced multiple Revit crashes, resulting in approximately an hour of lost work. Another member had difficulty using Civil 3D on their personal computer, which hindered their ability to measure the dimensions of the as-built floor plan. These technical challenges added to the overall difficulties we faced during the modeling process. 

We divided the work into individual floors which was not a seamless way to collaborate. Only one member could work on the Masterfile at one time this was not very time efficient. We also ran into the problem where each team member's floor plan footprint was slightly off from the others, this created a time consuming issue where someone would have to manually move all the exterior walls so they aligned.

 If we were to do this again, we would try to figure out a cloud solution that allowed for simultaneous work on the project. We would also assign someone to be the lead Revit Designer and they would be in charge of starting the file and creating the shell of the MUB then passing that off to other team mates for them to work on the floor plans.

Unfortunately we also had a team member drop from the class mid way through design. This left us under manned and missing key Revit designs. This was not a controllable factor to our process so there's not much we could have done to avoid it. However it required for all other team members to step up and take a bigger role in the project.
