Views in Linked model

bldg_naomi — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 15:05:54 GMT

In my linked model have views set up that use scope boxes. I went to visibility Graphics and I changed the link display to "by linked view", however, the floor view I selected uses a scope box and instead the linked model shows the entire floor. Is there a way to get it to just show only what is in the scope box?

Did you actually apply the scope box to the view?

TIP: Turn on Annotation Crop in Plan Views.

In the original model yes. When it is linked into another model those scope boxes are no longer accessible. I did not copy any scope boxes into the new project i'm linking to either.

Do you want to apply the same scope box to the entire view or just the linked model in the view?

I want to just be able to isolate a view in the linked model. Or would I have to just use visibility graphics for it.

That is understood. Are you okay with your view also being cropped the same way?

Do you mean the entire floor view of the new project? If so, then no just for the linked model. If actually using a scope box changes more than just the linked model, then I may just have to use visibility graphics for that view.

So you want something like this?

Then you need to overlay two views with different scope boxes, or different view crop regions on sheet.
