    Default [2013] Linked structural model shows as wireframe

    I've got a simple project consisting of some mechanical vaults that was started in 2012 then upgraded to 2013. I have a structural model linked in (also started in 2012 and then upgraded to 2013). Things were fine at one point in the upgrade now all of a sudden the structural model is showing as wireframe in a 3D view. I have my view settings as follows>:
    Discipline: COORDINATION
    Visual Style: CONSISTENT COLORS
    Detail Level: FINE
    RVT Link: BY HOST VIEW

    My pipes are showing as expected with those settings but everything (with the exception of a few floor slabs) in the structural model is wireframe.

    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    you might have to set the structural link to custom on the Links tab, and set it how you want it. when set to Host View, you're at their mercy if they change their view settings.

    I'm pretty sure I've already done that but I'll double-check and post back with results.

    Thanks.

    Search around a little bit because I think I've head of such a glitch that comes from upgrading a project from 2012 to 2013. I know I've seen this discussed in the Autodesk forums. Let me know if you can't find anything here, and I'll dig it up from over there. (I'm not sure, but the glitch may only involve Masking Regions and such...)

    This is a pretty old thread so maybe no longer relevant, but anyway: I was battling with this same (or a very similar issue) then realised that to get the structure to show up as a structure in my 3D view and not just wireframe I just had to change my 3D view Discipline from Mechanical to Structural and it all shows up as a realistic 3D model.

    Hopefully I understood your question correctly and that's what you were after.

    If so, awesome, glad to help. If not, hopefully there's someone out there with a good tip for us.
