About Copying Elements from a Linked Model

When you start the Copy/Monitor tool, choose Select Link, and then select Copy, you can copy elements from a linked model to the current model, and monitor changes to the original elements.

When an element in the linked model changes, a warning alerts you of the change.

Example for architects and structural engineers: You can copy levels and grids from a linked architectural model to a structural model. When a level or grid is moved in the architectural model, a warning alerts structural engineers.

Example for system engineers: You can copy levels from a linked architectural model to a mechanical model. When a level is moved in the architectural model, a warning alerts mechanical engineers.
