Can you have sheets from linked revit files show up on your revit model?

[David125]

We have a project where we have the model separated by discipline, arch, struct, mech and Elec. As I work on the arch model, I have all other models linked, each has generated its sheets. When I create a sheet list I only get the sheets on my model.  Is it possible to create a sheet list from linked models?

Thanks.

At the lower left corner of the Sheet List schedule properties, activate "Include elements from linked files".

Ahh the subtlties of Revit.. Thank you!

I have checked the box "include elements from linked files." nothing seems to appear in my sheet index. I have parameters set up for discipline order and discipline, not sure if that is affecting anyhting?

nevermind, I had the linked model unloaded.

I am revisiting this post. since I dont remember the out come of the original post I was wondering once I include the sheets from the linked models is there a way to incorporate them to my "Discipline Order & Discipline"? when I try to click in the column of either "Discipline Order & Discipline" in the edit schedule nothing happens. it doesnt allow me to change them.

does anyone have any suggestions?

The parameters that you use to drive your grouping and sorting have to be in the other files and appropriate values assigned to each sheet.  (You will want to use shared parameters so that Revit recognizes they are all the same parameter.)

is there a way to have the sheets in the linked file shown up in your sheet list in the project browser and be printed?

I've got standard detail sheets that goes with each project.

Did you try the suggestion that is marked as the solution, message #2?

Yes...it is possible.  Well, kinda...it is in development.  

[htews]

yes, that shows the sheet in the list of drawings on the cover sheet.  I'm talking about having the sheet shown in the Project Browser Sheets.

Has anyone answered this for you?  Or did you figure it out yourself?

I'm looking to do the same thing, I've got a Typical Sections sheet that is the same for a few office buildings

& instead of including the drafting views to each model, I'd like to link in the Typical Sections sheet just

in case a revision happens I'd have to change it once...

I have the same issue I don't know how to separate linked sheets by discipline at my model

[ksanchezREAP5]

Having same issue need help to figure out to to separate by discipline

[RobDraw]

See message #7.

Awesome! Thanks!

Did you by chance solve this and figure out a way to link typical sheets into other project browsers so that you essentially have 1 host file and any changes will then be updated in the linked models?

I bet @gibson meant to include the actual sheets, not just the index.

If you draw it all on a Celing Plan in a New model,
and then link in that model to the job you want it in,
Make a new ceiling plan for the job you want it to show up in and show the linked model, you can then go into the linked revit model setting and select "show by plan view" (or somthing along those lines) and view with the detials in it.
then all you have to do is update the Master & sync, then Reload the model to update it in the other ones.

there is no nice way to do it unforunatly 😕
