You can use the Linework tool to change the line style for edges in a linked model. To do this, you must set the view’s visibility property for the linked model to By host view.

1. In the host model, open the view in which you want to change line styles.
2. Type VG, or click View tabGraphics panel (Visibility/Graphics).
3. In the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog, click the Revit Links tab.
4. For the linked model, if the Display Settings value is not By Host View, do the following:
   1. Click in the Display Settings cell.
   2. In the RVT Link Display Settings dialog, on the Basics tab, select By host view.
   3. Click OK twice.

Now you can use the Linework tool to change the line style of edges in the linked model. See Using the Linework Tool.
