Best way to draw furniture on a large BIM project

[TArchit]

What is the best i.e. most effective, efficient and manageable way to draw furniture using Vectorworks architect BIM on a large 500 apartment project? This is includes bathrooms, kitchens, beds, chairs and tables, which will all be identically replicated 100s of times and are likely to require ongoing editing.

 

We will need to show them on GA plans at 1:50, but not necessarily on the section drawings. We also need to provide kitchen and bathroom layouts at 1:20. Should we reference these directly from the same model or draw these separately? 

 

Thanks

Thanks Rob, we have chosen to use Hybrid Symbols as they appear to provide all of the functionality that we require without using too much memory.
