Link One Model to Another

Open an existing model, and link another model to it.

1. Open an existing project or start a new project.

   You will link another project into this project.

2. Click Insert tabLink panel (Link Revit).
3. In the Import/Link RVT dialog, select the model to link.
   Note: If you are using A360 Collaboration for Revit, you can only link to a model in the current A360 project.
4. For Positioning, specify the desired option.

   In most cases, you should select Auto - Origin to Origin.

   If the current project uses shared coordinates, select Auto - By Shared Coordinates. See Shared positioning.

   See Import and Link Options.

5. Click Open.

If you cannot see the linked project in the drawing area, do the following:

1. In the view properties, for Discipline, select Coordination.

   This setting ensures that the view displays elements for all disciplines (architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical).

2. (Optional) To display the linked project in halftone, for Visibility/Graphics Overrides, click Edit. On the Revit Links tab, for the linked project, select Halftone, and click OK.

You can select the linked model in a view and drag, copy, paste, move, and rotate it.

You can also monitor grids, levels, and other essential elements in the linked project. See Multi-Discipline Coordination.
