Printing Sheet Sets From a Linked Revit Model

Hi everyone! I wanted to confirm if it's possible to reference or use the sheet set from a linked Revit model, so I can print the entire updated set directly from the model I'm working in.
For example, I'm working in the Architecture model, and when I print, I can choose to add the Interiors model Set as well.
Do Revit links only strictly transfer geometry information? Can a complete sheet be part of the Linked model?

You can schedule sheets from linked models into a composite sheet list. You cannot print sheets in a linked model from the hosting model.

To complet @SteveKStafford 's answer, it won't be possible to reference views from the sheets in a linked Revit model on to views in your local model.

As a workaround, you could manually create a dummy sheet with the titles and sheet numbers contained in the linked Revit model if you need to reference views, manage sheet set revisions (as opposed to individual revisions by sheet), etc.

 

Do Revit links only strictly transfer geometry information? 

No, Revit can also share detail and annotations through a linked view workflow. More information on the following help subject:

Display a Linked Model by Linked View

 


Can a complete sheet be part of the Linked model?

Not sure what you mean, but no, there is no "link a complete sheet" function which gives the sheet the same properties as a local sheet. This said, it is possible to create a master printing sheet in the main "printing model" and create duplicate views in the local and linked project assigning a linked view to the printing model views showing all the linked view annotations, tags and graphic overrides (with minor exceptions.


Hope this helps,
