Hi All,
I'm having an issue with linked files and phasing. I have two files linked to one another... one is the base building, one is the tenant fit-up. Both files only have two phases "Existing" and "New Construction". I want the base building linked file to display as existing (halftoned) when linked into the tenant fit-up file. Phase mapping isn't working. The only way I can see to do it is to create a dummy "Tenant Fit-Up" phase in the base building file for phase mapping to work properly in the Tenant Fit-up file. This isn't the best option as I don't want things accidentally getting modelled under the "Tenant Fit-up" phase in the base building when it should just be "New Construction".
Is the proper/best way to do it? Is there a way to globally override a linked file to halftone? This is a multiple storey building with many fit-ups happening (all different Revit files with base building linked in), so I need a good way to manage this.
Thanks!
