How do I hide/filter out a model group of a linked revit model in my own model

Relatively novice in revit. Just wanted to get that out of the way for those of you who may answer with short answers I may not fully understand. Here's the rub. I have a mechanical model I am modeling all our hvac in. We have a linked model we got from the Architect, which shows some linework that has been grouped into a group>model>group4. Our engineer wants this linework hidden on our sheets, but not the rest of the model. How do I hide or filter out this group in my model? We can not make changes IN the Architects model. Thanks for the help.

Set the Link to Custom under the VGOs and then hide what you want to hide.

VG > Set the link display to By Host View or Custom then you can TAB to select the model group and Hide element in view.

I am finding where you guys are pointing to just fine. I can't find the group, or figure out what I am looking for beyond that once I get there though. The list in that window does not specifically say groups, or model groups or anything. I added some screen shots below. The linework in the linked model is all just med lines, and then they've grouped them.

You don't need to find it in the browser.  TAB to select it in the view, right click and Hide in View.

OK, I see. So I am getting closer. However, The selections after right click are greyed out. I'm guessing there is a property somewhere that needs turned on or off?

Did you forget this step?  It is in the previous response.

The prior response had it set to custom. I have mine set the same.

Set it to By Host View.

Good. Now, TAB-Select the Link element, right-click and select Hide in View: By Element from the drop-down contextual menu.

TAB-Select until you drill down to a single element in the Group itself, then hide in view that element.  Rinse and repeat until all the elements in the Group are hidden.  You could also create a Filter to automate the process.

Well, I so I was able to do that the whole time. The issue was that there are 1000's of small lines making that up, and doing it one by one would take forever. SO I am guessing there's no easy to just hide the whole group at once. We'll have to ask the arch to resend without the tractor or putting it in a family we can remove or something.

You TAB to select the entire group of the link, not individual lines inside that group.

I get what you are saying, but it isn't working that way. When I tab to selects the entire group, the hide elements options become grey. they only become selectable when I tab to the individual lines.

I had the same problem where the Architect grouped a bunch of lines together to make up a model group. When I had set my linked DISPLAY SETTINGS to be "By Host View", I was then able to TAB to select items and then hide them (but ONLY the individual lines, not the group as a whole). So like the OP, this wasn't viable for me either. The setting that worked for me was under VISIBILITY/GRAPHICS - "Generic Models". Unchecking the box removed the modeled group from the linked background. Just be careful that there aren't other model groups in the linked view that you need to show in your dwgs.
