Hi All, just like my question is in the subject, has this been added to revit since 2022? (the date I didn't use revit extensively😁

 

 

Thanks|

What's the element?

 

If you are able to Copy/Monitor it, then perhaps you can cut it.  What about that?  Probably a smarter workflow anyways -- assuming the Link Project will need to be updated to reflect the modification to the element.

Thank you, I will try that. Although I am not sure if I am allowed to copy monitor elements which will make the model a lot bigger therefore slower...

Appreciate the Idea and will get back to you

No, link elements are not directly editable. You still need to bring them into your model for editing by using methods such as copy/monitor, binding links, or simply copying and pasting.
