Copying Elements From A Linked Revit Model; Visibility For Linked Revit Models - Autodesk 24000-000000-9860 - Revit Architecture - PC User Manual

In addition, you can copy a linked Revit model between projects within the same Revit session. When you
copy a linked Revit model to another project, the link path, shared positioning settings, visible nested links,
and the link instance name are copied to the new project. If the link instance name already exists in the
project, the link is automatically renamed. Partially loaded files are maintained as partially loaded. Visibility
and graphic override settings are not preserved.
To copy a linked Revit model to another project file:
1 Open the project file that contains the link to copy, and open the file to copy it into.
2 Select the linked model in the Project Browser (under Revit Links) or in the drawing area.
3 Click Edit menu
4 Click Window menu, and select the project name to copy the linked model into.
5 Click Edit menu
6 Click in the drawing area to place the linked model.
7 On the Options Bar, click Finish to complete the paste operation.

Visibility for Linked Revit Models

Parameters that control the visibility and appearance of linked Revit models are grouped under their own
tab, Revit Links, in the Visibility/Graphics dialog. This dialog is arranged in a tree structure with the parent
nodes referring to separate files (the primary linked model), and the child nodes referring to instances (copies)
of the model in the project. Changing the parent node affects all instances, while changing a child node
affects only that instance.
