I think I know the answer to this but why not ask.

I have a host revit file with two instances of a linked rvt model therein of levels 5 and up where the tower is a miroor of itself - all three models each share commonly named levels.

Now in the host file, I have created a door schedule for the doors within the host file and the linked tower. My issue is that I do not seem to be able to apply a filter "by level" to the doors within the linked file. Should I be able to?

My suspicision is that although my levels are exactly the same, somehow my survey point in the y direction is off bit a tiny smidge and thus Revit does not "read' the shared levels. - do you think this could be true?

All help would be appreciated. On a side note, I also truly wish you could toggle on and off design options in a linked model so I could create two design options for the two varied base tower conditions. brilliant ideas welcome.

You cannot filer by level while in host file. This has nothing to do with shared levels or y direction.
Yes, you can toggle design option of linked files in host file. Did you try VG and select Revit link and look into Custom property?
