I've been researching this and spinning my wheels for a few days, and haven't arrived at a clear answer yet, so here goes...
I've created a hybrid symbol of a piece or equipment. What's the preferred updated workflow of attaching variable and non variable data to it?
Non variable data would be linked/attached with the symbol definition, and would indicate model #, electrical usage, fuel usage, & ect...
Variable usage would be linked/attached to the instance of the symbol definition as it is placed in the BIM model, indicating unit number, location, and so forth.
They'll be coffee roasters BTW.....
Thanks,
