In response to KT
KT -
Both methods work, but there are some differences. The PLN brings in all of the information from the as-built, while the MOD file method allows you to pick and choose what you want to include.
We have a preset layer combination for creating the MOD file which turns off certain things (like the section and elevation markers). You can invoke that layer combination (it's something like MODEL | BUILDING MODULE FOR EXPORT) then use a heavy (multi-story) marquee to enclose the building, and then create the HLM (use the File menu > External Content > Save Selection as Module). In that dialog box, be sure to uncheck the box to turn the selection into an instance of the module.
