Showing/Hiding SPECIFIC elements in architectural link

[fosland1]

I have an architectural link where I'm only trying to show two pieces of mechanical equipment in a room and hide the rest. Problem is, I can't VV>Hide the mechanical equipment category as all the pieces of mechanical equipment in the linked view will hide. I can't filter because it will affect elements in our host model as well. What I'm resorting to is going into the architectural link itself and creating a custom view that shows exactly what I want. While this works, it is definitely not ideal as every update we get I'll have to go in a manually recreate that view again each time. My question is, HOW do you hide SPECIFIC elements in an architectural link without going in and editing the actual linked model?

i think you could copy/monitor those 2 pieces of mech equip from the linked arch model into your model, then turn off mech equip in the linked model in visibility settings, but leave mech equip showing from your model and/or the mechanical linked model. the copy/monitored objects should move or rename if the arch modifies them.

Thanks Mike! I think this will be the way I do it!

You can also select them through the link and "Hide in View". Unfortunately, you can only select one item at a time this way, but if only a few...
