Linked File Visibility

[rparr]

I am working in a project whose exterior shell is linked into the main interior model.

When cutting wall sections, the linked file comes in as halftoned. No visibility graphics within the view are set to Halftone, nor is the Revit Link itself. The linked file's visibility is set to "By Host View," so we have even tried overriding the object styles for walls, curtain panels, systems, windows, etc to be black cut and projection lines, to no avail.

Any insight would be helpful... I've attached an example. The curtain wall system & windows to the right are part of the linked file. The elements on the left are part of the main model.

Change linked files visibility setting to "By Linked View" and it will display as it does in it's own project file's view.

Thanks for the suggestion... I started playing with the linked file visibility and found that it was a phasing issue: Changing the setting to "Custom" (by linked view was greyed out) and setting the phase to "New Construction" instead of "Project Completion" solved the problem

Is it possible to control the visibility of the linked model's worksets? The only thing we want to show from our linked structural model is the foundations, columns, beams and steel framing. The structural guy made a workset called foundations and put all the foundations (since they are linked to the walls) on that but I can't find a way to control the visibility of the workset. Using Revit 9.1.

You can re-link your model and from the Add Link window, below the Preview window there is an option Open Worksets, the default is set to All but you can select Specify and then you can close or open the worksets you want shown..
