I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. If your wish would come true, what would your one wish be for eigher AutoCAD MEP or Revit MEP? I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models.

build your as-built model in the existing phase. Once an as-built model is done you might want to archive a copy of the model just incase the design scope changes and you have to start all over again with a clean as-built. The model builder is going to have to do partial demolition of walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, etc.

When you have a large project and you want multiple users editing a project at the same time you have to impliment Worksets because Revit typically keeps all project data in a single project file unlike Autocad where we typically separate the project into multiple files. All of your model objects will initially reside in Workset 1.
