    You can link models to more easily manage the individual parts or to improve performance when working on a large project.
  • Workflow: Linked Models in Schedules
  • Visibility of Linked Models
    Control the visibility of linked models and nested linked models in the host model.
  • Tagging Elements in Linked Models
    When tagging elements in a view of a host model (C), you can also tag elements from linked models (B) and nested models (A).
  • Linked Model Instance Properties
    To see the properties of an element contained in a linked model, move the cursor over the element in the linked model and press Tab to highlight the element. The properties display on the Properties palette.
