Description
Makes the host project recognize the Room Bounding parameter of elements in the linked
model. See Room Boundaries in Linked Models
Determines whether nested linked models are shown (Attachment) or hidden (Overlay).
See Showing or Hiding Nested Linked Revit Models
Allows you to set up the phase map for the linked model. See
Revit Models on page 1216.
Description
Specifies the name of the linked model instance. Names are automatically generated
when you make a copy of a linked model in the project. You can change the name.
Names must be unique; a message appears if you enter a name that already exists in the
project. Names of linked models are useful when you have multiple copies of the same
linked model in a project and need to add the linked model elements to a schedule. See
Including Elements from Linked Models in a Schedule
Specifies the shared coordinates for the linked model. See
