Isolating components from linked models (Revit) #13

Closed alexandernesbitt closed 8 years ago

Hi Matteo,

I am having trouble isolating components from linked Revit files.

Scenario: Architect has linked the Structural RVT into theirs, they open the BCF and click on a viewpoint to view an issue of one of their doors hitting a Structural column, it will isolate the door but not that particular column.

Any ideas of what could be causing this issue?

Thanks, Alex

Elements of linked models are not accessible via the API so cannot be isolated :( Real bummer.

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend any way around this? Would the consultants have to copy models?

I'm not aware of any good workaround, but sure that would work...
