Orange Items in linked model

[orosztamas]

Hello Everyone! 

I have a linked structural model in my project file. Do you have any idea, why are those elements are showing orange on the attached image? Those are solid extrusions.

• if they are not Voids, and you say they are not, then
• maybe , if you use Worksharing, the Worksharing Display Settings is on
• or, you are in middle of a Review Warning and the software shows you where is the conflict...

If they are void extrusions, then they may not be cutting anything and thats why they are displayed in orange.

From the Revit book:

"When you create a void form while in the Family Editor, it will appear in the 3D views as a transparent form and as orange lines in plan and elevation views, as long as it is not cutting any solid geometry."

So, if it's not cutting anything, then it'll be orange. Once it cuts something, it should turn black. If it hasn't automatically, it may be possible to use the Cut tool to cut the void into any other geometry.

Maybe try cutting them with some solid extrusions. Good luck.

turn on your Select Link and if you TAB select the Orange elements thru the link, what does Revit say they are?

@constantin.stroescu @hmunsell @JANNIK.FATH Thank you all for the answers! It was actually a visual bug. I have just recreated the view, and it solved itself.
