| - | This whitepaper describes the features in Rhino 5 that enable a team of people to work on a large project together. The strategy is to divide the project into multiple files and use both blocks and attached files appropriately. | + | This whitepaper describes the features in Rhinoceros |

| - | Rhino has two ways to include multiple files in a single scene: inserting linked blocks and attaching reference models. At first they seem similar, but they solve different problems. | + | Rhino has two ways to include multiple files in a single scene: inserting linked blocks and attaching reference models |

| When geometry is inserted as Linked Blocks with Layer State set to Active, changes can be made to all active layer properties. These layer changes are saved in the master model and are applied regardless of changes to the underlying geometry and layers in the linked blocks. This allows the master model to be reused throughout the project lifecycle. | When geometry is inserted as Linked Blocks with Layer State set to Active, changes can be made to all active layer properties.

| While actively modeling an element of the project, you may need to overlay geometry from another part of the project. It is possible to use linked blocks to overlay this external geometry, but linking information is saved within the active model. Imagine working on the building exterior but wanting interior walls for reference. If the interior walls were inserted as linked blocks, another user wanting to reference only the building exterior would also get interior walls. (Option: The linked block can be inserted on a unique layer and this layer is called the block reference layer. If the reference layer is turned off, the entire block does not be display.) Creating permanent links increases the organizational complexity of the project. | While actively modeling an element of the project, you may need to overlay geometry from another part of the project.
