2 In the Visibility/Graphics dialog, click the Revit Links tab.
3 Click the button in the Display Settings column for the linked Revit model.
4 In the RVT Link Display Settings dialog, on the Basics tab, select By Host View or Custom.
5 Click OK twice to exit the Visibility/Graphics dialog.

Dimensions and Constraints in Linked Revit Models

You can use elements in the linked model as references for dimensions and aligning. For example, you can
create a dimension between a wall in the host project and a wall in the linked model. See
Dimensions
You can also create constraints between elements in the host model and elements in a linked model. For
example, you can constrain a linked building to a property line in the host model or a linked floor to a level
in the host model. Linked models move as an entire entity when the element they are constrained to moves.
Constraints on a linked model (or an element in a linked model) only move the linked model, they do not
move elements in the host model. Constraints to links using shared locations are not permitted.
Revit Architecture attempts to retain and rehost dimensions and constraints when you reload (or unload
and reload) a link.

Displaying Linked Revit Model Data

Display settings control how a linked model displays its data.
To view or change display settings for a linked model:
1 Click the linked model in the drawing area.
2 Click View menu
3 Click the Revit Links tab.
4 View or override the Display Settings:

Copying Linked Revit Models

A linked model can be copied any number of times in a host project. For example, a housing development
may have multiple designs that repeat many times throughout the site. For each copy of a linked model
that you place in a project, a unique name is automatically generated for the copy. This name helps to
identify elements from linked models in a schedule. You can modify the name for a linked model instance
through its properties. You can also override visibility and graphics settings for each linked model instance.
See Visibility for Linked Revit Models
You can copy linked Revit models using the standard copy and paste procedures (see
page 319) or you can drag a linked Revit model from the Project Browser into a project view.
If you select Custom, select By Host View for Phase.

By Host View means that the host project's view settings determine how the linked model
looks.
By Linked View means that the linked model's own view settings govern how it looks.
Custom allows more control over how the linked model looks.
