Is there a way to import or reference an archicad model in another archicad file? I have a master plan i am working on in addition to individual building files and i want to import or reference the building models in the masterplan file. HOW can i do this so when i work in the building file the masterplan file updates?

thanks

save your reference as a module and import the module in the master plan.

will that work for an entire building model or will i have to save each level as its on module and import each level in to the master plan?
Every story of the module file will be placed as a single module into the host project.
If the project contains multi-story elements or several stories, ArchiCAD will, by default, save all of the stories as part of the module.

You can just place a PLN file as a multistory hotlink

File> External Content> Place Hotlinked Module and when you select the file it will ask if you want to place as multistory or just a single story.
