Link models to coordinate the design when collaborating across disciplines.
This video demonstrates the following:
When you collaborate on a project, you can linkRevit files to each other to manage individual models or to improve software performance. With linked models, you can coordinate the design across multiple models and disciplines.
On the insert tab, use the Link Revit tool to add a linked a model into the host model. In most cases, you should select Auto - Internal Origin to Internal Origin for positioning. If the host model and the linked model have already been set up to use shared coordinates, use Auto - By Shared Coordinates. The Shared Coordinates option aligns the coordinate systems of multiple linked files.
Linked Revit models are listed in the Revit Links branch of the Project Browser. If a linked model in your project is changed, Revit automatically updates the link each time you open the host model. If you need to update linked models while working on the host model, you can use the Manage Links tool to reload the linked models.
You can control how linked models display in all views or only in specific views. You can also tag elements from linked models. The tags exist in the host model only, not in the linked model.
Linking allows you to work in a coordinated and collaborative way across multiple models.
