![]() ![]() The Linked View drop-down list contains all available plan, RCP, section, elevation, and 3D views from the linked model. You can also select the project view to display for the linked model. When you select this option, the nested linked model uses the visibility and graphics override settings specified in its parent linked model. When you select this option, the nested linked model uses the visibility and graphics override settings specified in the host view.īy Linked View. In the RVT Links Display Settings dialog, click the Basics tab, and select one of the following:īy Host View. If you selected a linked model instance, select the Override display settings for this instance check box.

At least there I can take visual control of a "Linked" file.Ĭlick View tabGraphics panelVisibility/Graphics. This would seem like a major problem to me.Īny thoughts? Is this a know Revit issue? And if so, Why hasn't it been fixed? These are the kinds of things that make me want to toss this program and go back to ACA. IMHO they should either fix this major bug or get rid of that check box. Conversely, how do I know that my stuff shows up in the RA and RMEP models if I were to create a workset like this. If I can't control a workset in a linked file, how am I supposed to know this stuff is there. The only way around it that I've found was to create a new workset and move put the stuff from the invisible workset on the new one oh and now I have to go through all my views and turn it off.ĭid someone not have their cup of Joe when they came up with this? However when my RS model is linked into the RA model these elements are NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. I love the fact that I can create a new workset and have it not turned on in my views by default (saves me a ton of time going through each view to turn stuff off). For everyone else, just follow the images above, and you should be able to re-create them.So I think I've found what I'd call a really dumb bug with Revit. Again, sample downloads files will be available for my Patreons on my Patreon page. I am not going to argue with that.Īnyways, thanks for reading. From that point of view, the point of view of a software developer, working on the API for Revit, it probably made sense to do it this way. I am guessing this decision was made to keep the imported files and their visibility compatible with the standard Categories like OST_Walls, so that they didn’t have to design a new API methods to turn them on/off. Revit is Revit, and I kind of stopped questioning it’s means and methods a while ago. ![]() For someone looking at these from the outside, it would appear a little weird, that an imported or linked DWG file is not just that – a linked file object – but instead it is a Category. I know that these methods are not the most straight forward. Once we have these Categories available to us, we can turn them ON/OFF for any given view. You can get it via Graphics Style Category. One exception to this, is the “Imports in Families” which even though it appears under the same tab, we can access it a little differently. That’s literally how the above node was written. It also names it after the name of the file that was imported, which is a clue to how to access them. Revit basically creates a new Category in its database, whenever we link or import a new DWG file. Yes, it is the same Category that we normally use to select things like Walls, Doors, Floors etc. Under the hood, in the API, these objects are defined under something called Category. First let me explain to you, what “imported categories” are. Here’s a pretty straight forward way to hide them in a view:
