I am working on a small phased renovation project where my structural consultant is also on revit 2012. This is the first time either of us has worked like this
I provided him with our model, he then built his structural model and sent it to me. In the file there is only the structural elements he has added, and some generic walls which I think duplicate mine (for reference only)
I've linked his file, and aligned it to mine. (I don't know why it was way off in the distance since he did start with my file, but I'll leave that for another time.)
So my issue is that I'm having troubles adjusting the visibility/graphic overides of the linked file. When I go into the revit links tab, I can hide the entire link in any particular view, but it seems I do not have individual "component" control. Ideally, I like to try and model most things as opposed to drawing details components over a halftoned model and then hide the model completely.
What I'd like to do is show my building section with his structure as a part of my section, but I'm left with things like their levels that I can't seem to hide. If worse comes to worse I always could just draw detail components over their model and them hide it, but I'd like to try and figure this out if I can for future projects. Any advice would be helpful.
