The first database is not available anymore and the job has to be done?

Can one just load a second database into the model and go on with it?

CADmep...Yes. Might get messy but can be (and has been) done.

Revit....officially No. Unofficially...I likely could make it happen but would advise against it. Revit's just too unstable across too many versions to do anything like this. I'd recommend linking in the one model and continuing to draw in the new one.  Sheetmetal might get a little more tricky than piping if you need to fab it. But there are ways to "point" it to your DB. But you're better off running it into CAD/CAM or EST for cleanup first.

Just another case of Autodesk not understanding or caring what really needs to happen to pull a project together.

APD-DB:
We use Dropbox for our database and are also at different locations.  Works well.  We looked at one drive but there are character limitations that dropbox did not have and our database has been setup on Dropbox for many years.
