I'm not sure where the fault lies on this one.
We have an architect that is using Revit to produce their models, and they are linking all sorts of models to each other. So what are we supposed to do when we download the files as a consultant?
Even though the architect is apparently using the relative option when making the link, the paths in the files are hard-coded paths. So how are we supposed to use their model if we decide to use RMEP? We certainly need to "tweak" the model for the links, at the moment, just to get good exports (
see here), much less using the model somehow in RMEP.
Even more odd... when I change one of the links, it doesn't display our path at all, but one from their office, yet the model appears. If I save the host model and open it again, it complains about that link once again, and if I respecify the same location I did a moment ago, it will display our path, but not relative. It is another hard-coded path. But another model acts the way I expect the first time I relink.
Adding to the issues is the fact that some of the linked models are missing, and each model that is there is linking each other.

Is the architect flying way off-base?
