Linking One Revit File Into Another

- Before linking, clean up the file before linking (if possible).

     - Audit, detach from central, keep worksets
     - Check warnings, check links, consider deleting unnecessary
        elements, purge.

- Remember the Revit linked files/worksets rule!
- Map Phases if needed
- Multi-discipline firm? Consider only linking copies of central files.
- Sending files? Consider Autodesk Labs eTransmit for Revit 2012.
