Visibility Graphics with Links | Revit

[@seandaugherty2824]

I work for an engineering company and was struggling with links to other models showing MULTIPLE layers. Understanding the "By Layer" piece of Revit Links was essential in helping isolate the models i needed to work off of. Thank you!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Very good, glad to hear that helped!

[@parastoon3706]

Thanks for being so clear and to the point! Helped a lot!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Glad it helped!

[@maxconstructioncarpentry1318]

Really good. I saw a 35 min video on this and it was a bit much to keep up with at once. The two together are perfect.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I am using this technique very similar , I am reporting the schedule of the linked inherit view and using 1 file that has multipe work set for floor plans within the linked view- it is very helpful if you want to make a mirror of a assemblies version of sheets without having to re-annotate

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I totally agree, definitely something I find myself doing a lot.

thanks guy

No problem!

[@titomoura7014]

Thank you for your video! I have a question in regards it. I'm wondering if there is a plugin to manager the visibility graphics of multiple link at the same time?? For example. I work with multiple links(5 or 6) and I have to untick all the boxes in the visibility graphics on the annotation tab for every single view template that I use. It does take a lot of time doing that. Therefore, I'm wondering if there is a plugin which I can achieve that quickly.

Amazing!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you for doing these videos! Could you point me out to where the other video regarding visibility graphics is? I was not able to find it. Thank you!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I should link it in the video but it's all about view templates: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5XCYaiDeNuhhMU

Hi I am linking a Revit file to my main Revit model file and when i close and open it again i cannot find anything in my floor plans or site plan where I linked my revit file,but i can see all the elements in the 3dviews and elevations...does anyone have any idea what needs to be done

[@islam56898]

great

[@twobatibots626]

Great Video... Just wondering if you know why i can't see all the layers on the link files even i already press the + botton and did the custom tab?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

if it's a Revit file, you would not see true layers. If it is a CAD files, then I would look in the imported categories tab in the visibility graphics.

[@twobatibots626]

@@ArchitectureVanguardthanks for answering! if its a revit file there's no way to see the associated layers?

[@joseantoniosanchezrojas4073]

Hello, have a question. In case I wanna link a structural file with columns and beams how can i make to visualize in the file the projection with hidden lines of the beams. Thanks a lot for your content

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

That would be a view range thing in that you would have to see the beams of the linked file and you can override how you want to display those in the visibility graphics.

[@Mr.P539]

Hi, thank you for sharing...How can I show tag from same drawing and same area in the plan but different view. ?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I would copy them all and paste them in same place on a different plan.

[@sasquatchhimself]

Thanks. A question I still have is: When you're in the Revit Links tab and you click a drop down on one of the revit links you see "() - Not Overridden"... What is that??

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

That is a little confusing, but it is essentially an instanced version of the revit link. Basically you could show multiple instances for a revit link where they each show different things.

[@yinwailwinlay7797]

Thank you. Some time ,revit link made custom option but it cannot see annotation text in revit link.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Interesting. I cannot say I have heard of this.

[@0526512890]

First thanks for the video. I have a question about replacing the VIEW TEMPLATE- If I change the view template to "none" and edits the VG links, and changes back to the right view template, the link changes are not saved.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Right, this makes sense. Applying any template will override any settings even if there is no template. That is the point of applying a template.

[@TheCuriousOrbs]

Really helpful, but I came here looking for info on how to change the 3D appearance of linked Revit files. I can only see them n "halftone-hidden line removed" mode. been trying to sort this out for frickin days now.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

You might look to applying a material in object styles to apply to the link.

[@jlucero1]

Thanks for the video. Question: In your video, in the Revit links tab, it shows the "Interiors - Link.rvt" file. To the left of it, there is a "+". When I click the "+", it shows underneath the "Interiors - Link.rvt", a check box "1 ()" that says "Not Overridden". Can you please cover what that is all about? I'm confused. Thanks.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

The thing to know with that is it is considered to be an instance of the link above. By default there is a single instance when you load a link. You can add the same link again and you will see another instance of that link appear under the model in the visibility graphics. This means you can have the same model shown in the view twice but you would likely want to have different visibility options applied. The instances will just use the settings of the main model if you do not override them specifically.

[@franciscoguzman1524]

Hi dude! Thanks for the video! Hey... I am inserting an revit structural model and the whole model looks pink colour... It is terrible and disgusting when it supposed to be concrete color... And you know? When I rotate it in 3d view in real time it looks concrete color... Then when I render it in the vray plug in it looks fuc**** pink 😅😞🤯.... How can I render the structure in concrete color instead of pink? I have touched many options but i am not able yet to stick it up.... Many thanks and cheers

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Haha wow! My first guess is that you have the model overridden with a material in object styles so I would check that first!

[@franciscoguzman1524]

@@ArchitectureVanguard thanks! Cheers

[@ltv2390]

I can't select cad link in revit

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Check that you have the select links button at the very bottom right of the revit window toggled correctly. That is likely it.
