In the Reference Type column, change the value for the linked model to one of the following:
Attachment. Makes the linked model visible when its host is linked into another model.
Overlay. Does not load the linked model when its host is linked into another model. This is the default setting. When the Overlay option is selected and you import a model that contains nested links, a message displays indicating that the imported model contains nested links and that they will not be visible in the host model.
