    Default Showing options in linked revit files

    I have 4 different options of a building, I have each option on a separate sheet. I have the structural revit model linked in to the architectural model. How can I view the correct structural option in each of the different floor plans? Any help would be much appreciated.

    When you have imported the linked file you need to go Edit>Copy To Clipboard. Then go Edit> Paste Aligned> Same Place 4 times. Select each copy and go to it's properties. In the Identity data give each copy a different name then and only then will you be able to add them to your different Design options.

    If that doesn't help I'm sure we can find a way.Cheers Clinton!

    To show a design option in a linked revit file (V9):

    Type VV (Vibibility/Graphics Overrides)
    Revit Links (tab)
    Custom (button) next to link project name
    Click Custom on the Basics tab
    Select your design option(s) on the Design Options tab
