We have a site with 5 buildings on it. Previously we had all the buildings in one project but recently we separated the project into different files all linked into one site file. We are encountering a problem in how the largest building displays within the host file. Certain elements (floors and groups of floors and railing families) do not display. Some of the same elements display but other instances do not. I have attached two images one of the Linked file with everything displaying and one of the host file with the missing elements. I have purged out all the projects and reduced them as much as possible.
Some of the elements, but not all, that display incorrectly are in different groups in the linked file. Could this be part of the problem? It's not a work set issue as I have tried putting the elements on different work sets in the linked file but they still do not display? The linked building file is rather large with about 6 work sets.
The display problem happens in all views (plan, elevation and 3-d). However if in the Host file I tell the linked file to display per a linked view the elements appear as they do in the original file. But as you cannot link 3-d views or elevations we need to solve the problem so we can take 3-d views of the site and have everything display properly.
I have also tried linking the building file that is not displaying correctly into a new revit file and the same elements do not display correctly?
