When a Revit file contains other linked Revit models, A360 automatically finds all those links and packages everything together into a ZIP file as soon as you hit the Download button. Cool, right? Not so much. Maybe 1% of the time do we actually want that. The majority of the time, when I need to download A.RVT, I ONLY want to download A.RVT. I do not want to download: B.rvt C.rvt D.rvt... Just because they are all linked. I cannot find any option to simply tell A360 that we DO NOT want to include linked files when we download. Why is this such as big deal? If you don't have many links, maybe it isn't a big deal. We are currently working with a huge project and the main Revit project contains over 50 links. Yes, it's a lot of links. So you can sese the frustration when a consultant needs to simply download a SINGLE 10 MB Revit file to use as a background for their own model and are, instead, forced to download a ZIP file containing 51 files, at around 2 GB. Not good. A download that big will very often fail. Even when it doesn't, it's now taking 25-50 times as long to download something because we are forced to download 50 files we didn't even intend to download. Is there really no simple option to tell A360 not to download all links? This is a good option, but why is it the default? Thank you for looking into this issue.
