Revit Link file, display all sheets in one file

cadedu22 — Mon, 25 Oct 2021 12:39:38 GMT

Greetings,

Probably asked already dozen times, but yet

What do I need to do, to make all sheets in one file?

Solution:

There are no solution for this, so it's not doable yet! (20.10.2021)

Only alternative methods available...

Actual sheets or a list of sheets for a schedule?

No clue, can be any type as long as they are printable and in one file?

I simply wanted all sheets to be in one file when I Link Revit files for (Topography map)

My bad, I wrongly draw picture, I simply wanted to combine two files in one with all sheets.

You could just create a sort of dummy sheet for the numbering ie. refering to the other file, but otherwise I suppose you need to recreate the views in the new main project for instance using insert/import 2D elements to view and insert sheets from file or using an add-on to do the same... never had to do this though, perhaps there's a simple solution I'm unaware of as of yet..:)

Hey,

Yeah, I was reading some old topics there was no solutions, i was hoping that may be now there is.

I guess it's simple old way, with .pdf file combination outside revit.

Let's say you have Model A and Model B. Then you link Model B to Model A. Model B linked sheets may appear in Model A sheet-list if you check Nested Link Elements checkbox, but you cannot open or batch print these sheets through Model A.

Options:
1- you can use pyRevit plug-in to copy Model B sheets to Model A, but you may have to work something manually;

2- you can have Model A, Model B, and Document Model C, where you'll link both model just to work all your documentation. I use this strategy sometimes, but be aware that you'll lose some features that are much easier to work if model and sheets are both at the same file.

@cadedu22

In the main model you can only concatenate drawings from linked models in the sheets list. If you want the sheets to be all in the main model then those Sheets need to be recreated in the main model. (the views on sheets from the links do not carry over to the main)

There ain't nothing wrong with that.

Alternatively, you could link both models into a third model and create your sheets there.
