Bind an individual element instead of the whole linked model at once

[Anonymous]

I would like to bind individual elements from a linked model to the main model.

Since binding essentially makes a separate copy of the elements of the linked model, you may be able to do the following:

Use tab to select the single element you're interested in from a linked model.

Press Ctrl|+C to Copy the element to the clipboard.

Press Ctrl+Shift+V to Paste-in-the-same-place.

This may not work with certain types of family hosting, but I use this all the time to take my Mechanical's RTUs and place them onto my architectural roofs, pads, etc.

Paul makes an excellent point.

The alternative is more convoluted but I believe works in a similar way overall. Use the Copy/Monitor Function to copy elements from a linked model into your current model.
