Unloading and Reloading Linked Models

To update linked models without closing the current project, you can unload and reload the linked models.

1. Click Manage tabManage Project panel (Manage Links).
2. In the Manage Links dialog, click the relevant tab.
3. Select the linked model.
4. To unload the selected model, click Unload. Click Yes to confirm.
5. To reload the selected model, click Reload.
Note: If you reload a linked model that points to a view in a CAD file that is no longer available, you will be prompted to choose a different view. When reloading a link to a CAD file, be sure to review the reloaded link carefully. View data from the CAD file is used to convert the file into a form usable in Revit. For example, changing the view reference may affect how the link is displayed or positioned in Revit.
