Layer visibility overrides for coordination purposes: Default is background and most of the linework will usually be hidden under the floor element if there is one.
Checking by current view only treats the element similarly to an image with only 2D properties placing it into just the view that you are currently in.Īfter Import, select the file within the view and change the Draw Layer property to foreground. NOTE: Unchecking "Current view only" makes the link a single instance 3D element that is visible in all views which is relative to a level and can be given an elevation height. If linking to all views are desired, then you may consider unchecking current view only. If only a few multiple views are required it is easier to still link into Current view only and then copy and past in place into other views. If you want the linked CAD file to show in multiple views then you would want to weigh your options. Otherwise the file will show up in every view associated with that level. It is recommended to have a dedicated one.Ĭhecking the "Current view only" box is recommended in most cases. Hint: checking the purge nested box, you may only need to purge once.įirst make sure you are on the desired workset. Purge, Purge again, Purge until you can Purge no more.
Note: Do not explode all, this might explode other blocks (like plumbing fixtures, furniture, etc.) which, if built correctly, would revert to a 0 layer making their visibility hard to control. It will be easier to delete or freeze line work as needed. Name / rename with nomenclature easy to find in linked file list.Ĭhange solid patterns to something legible if needed, or turn off.Įxplode the xref blocks just inserted. Bind with Bind only if you need the layers controllable separately but there will be many more layers.Ĭopy / Save file to a linked files folder under your Project Revit directory. Bind with Insert will give you less layers to manage. (This prevents us from having to repath xrefs.)īind or detach xrefs as needed.
Temporarily copy any xrefs into the same directory as the file.
