Invisible column hatch in linked model

[asiaashraf821339]

When i link a structural Revit model in my architectural file, the column's hatches disappeared below the wall as the attached file, and i checked the "show family pre-cut in plan view' parameter is checked...
What i'm missing!!!??? :shock:

See if making the column and wall material the same fixes this. I'm assuming it's a Structural Column, not Architectural Column in the Linked file?

If it's because you expect the grey column hatch to continue into the wall then you need to embed (cut) the column into the wall. I have a feeling though that this makes a gap through the whole walls thickness. I can't quite remember.

I think in this link is one posible solution for your issue, "Showing Structural Column Cut Pattern from a Linked Revit File through Walls in a Host" (http://whatrevitwants.blogspot.com.es/2013/11/showing-structural-column-cut-pattern.html) from whatRevitWants blog.

It´s quite tricky one but it seems to work fine, you have to override the trasnparency of the walls to 1.

I hope this trick will be useful to you,
