Hi all,
Recently we received a structural model from a consultant in a .dgn format. The best way to insert this into the architectural model was by inserting it into a blank Revit project as a mass, and then linking this file to the architectural model. It all worked beautifully until the MEP model was created and in this the structure is not visible. Racked my brains - turned on Mass in the view template as well as in the linked files, linked the files as Attachments instead of Overlays, tried to bring the .dgn in as a .dwg or .fbx - to no avail. And all the time it looks absolutely beautiful in the Architectural Model!!! Please help....

Can you share the dgn model? or the rvt where the dgn model is loaded into?

Hi Darrin,
Thanks for your note! Can't share the .DGN (since it is not recognized over here as a valid extension!). Here is the .RVT that it was inserted into as a Mass.
The Revit model didn't contain the dgn content because it's linked in, not imported. I'm going to PM you my email, just email me your dgn file to review the issue.

Does the Mechanical host the Architectural model, which hosts the Structural model? Or the Mechanical host the Structural model directly?
You are right. The Mechanical hosts the Architectural, which hosts the Structural model
Thank you for your note!
With due respect. Underlay, Overlay, Attachment, Look up, Look Down - done it all.
Yup. Both.

Yes. A sequence of try and try again. Sigh.....
Ok, I was able to get the visibility of the DGN content to show up in a Mechanical project, by doing the following:

OK - I think that after all this excitement I owe it to everyone to share the solution furnished by AutoDesk Tech Support - PLAN REGIONS!!
1) The nested link was an Attachment
2) The View Templates / VG had Mass turned on
3) In a plan view, a Plan Region was set up, with the View Range edited to cut through the structure
4) In Sections, again the View Template / VG had Mass turned on
I am SO glad that this is over......
