    Good luck tweaking your Export Layering for Revit Categories to track what's existing, been demoed, etc...

    Had an Airport Project with 6 phases where a Sub needed "CAD" exports. I only accommodated adding Phase Created/Demoed to the Families. They where thinking, Oh & give the sub-categories/layers in the family/blocks to have different layering when exporting to give us CAD quality printing quality, LOL. I told them they Are S.O.L. as Exports from Revit are meant more for reference & not made to be turned quickly into a working CAD quality file, suckers, lol

    Of course it is!, but in our days most part of people thinks thats CAD is related to AutoCAD and that Revit is another thing, BIM for example!!

    'Stage 5' meaning as-built scan data for true conditions? Sounds to me like getting source files to pull into Navis and spit out some NWCs for R18 along with the cloud data.

    Sounds like they have some beastly contract language going for them

    The question may be moot in any case. The Contractor has indicated that it is their initial reaction that they are not inclined towards making the model available for a third party to use. You can see their point. My Director's reaction was that we would just use CAD for the next Phase... :banghead:

    Trust me, I made it clear to my Director that he needed to put together two prices - one with the current contractor continuing to the next phase, and one where he does not.

    This is primary.

    IMHO i'd be splitting off separate models for separate contractors. Either way everything needs doing twice anyway but you won't have the confusion of phases/ worksets/ whatever.
