BIM360 - Group Link option not avaiable

[Anonymous]

When working on a model on BIM360, I don't have the ability to turn a group into a link. Why is that? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous

Can you share a screencast of what you are experiencing?

I am experiencing the same issue. 

Below is the process of creating a linked model from a group. I am unable to do this because there is no 'link' button in the group panel.

Hi there,

The solution to this is to, first save the model to a different location as a copy. This can be your pc or a network drive,...

In this copy of the model you can then group elements. After grouping the link icon is available.

I have no exact explanation but I think this has to do with the worksharing environment and BIM360. I think BIM360 does not allow you to save the group as a new model directly to the cloud, so you don't get the option.

Please accept this as a solution if this workaround works for you.

in Revit 2022 you can select a group, press file>Save as>Library>Group
