Tags from nested linked model not visible in main model.

I'm having an issue where light fixture tags are not showing up in our main model despite all other annotation categories showing up.

 

The attached image should do a good job of explaining how the model works. Model A is linked into Model B as an attachment, and Model B is linked into Model C as an overlay. All of the physical information in Model A is visible across the whole series of models. I have access to model A and Model B (which are the architectural models) but limited access to Model C (which is the engineering model). For coordination, we want the tags from model B to be visible in model C but without the need for the engineer to continuously update the tags within his model when we make edits to the architecture.

 

We have set the visibility settings in model C to show all annotations from the linked views in model B, and loaded all the same annotation families into the files, but for some reason the light fixture tag will still not show up. Does Revit not allow tags from nested linked models to appear beyond one linked series?

You need to specify the link's named view that you want to show in your host view (through VG-Revit Links).

We have done that. The specified linked view is selected in the VG settings, and all the other annotations from that view have shown up except for the light fixture tags...

Interesting. So the Linked view selected, is the one showing the light fixture tags? Out of curiosity, are are able to tag them in the host?

Yes. I'm able to tag them in Model A. As well as tag them manually in Model C. But cant pull the light fixture tag annotation from Model B...

In a quick test here the concept you've mapped out works for me. Model A (fixtures) has to be an Attached Link in Model B so Model A will show up in Model C. It doesn't sound like that is an issue for you because you wouldn't see the electrical fixtures at all if Model A is set to Overlay in B.

 

Are none of the tags showing up or just one tag relative to a specific fixture? It is possible to use different lighting fixture tags that show different information like circuit instead of Type. If someone used a different tag I'd expect you to see a question mark if there is no circuit data associated with it though.

 

I'd look at some model matching issues, level elevations and view settings like view range/filters too.

VG (or View Template settings - do they look like this?

Rina,

 

This is what the view settings look like in both the general model and the linked view model. All filter types are visible.

Please share the lighting fixture family then.
