As we are doing lots of model referencing and linking, it would be more efficient if Revit has the capability to "edit model links in-place". This means that we do not need to open the linked files separately to do the adjustments needed and the linked files can be edited directly to the currently opened working file.
Links are commonplace in our projects and having to unload them before editing is a big waste of time. And you instantly lose the reference to the other links as an unpleasant bonus.
I can not explain this to my boss, he is from the Autocad age.
It is frustrating to have to unload and reload linked Revit files to work on them in the same instance of Reveit. So the work around is to open two instances of Revit and have each file opened in one. Save/Sync then reload in the main. Unload/reload doesn't that* much longer, but it seems kind of silly. Shouldn't Revit treat each open file like it's own instance of Revit? Small thing, but if you are working in lots of linked models, it makes a big difference.
i just like to up this request I would also like to highlight that edit-in-place links was available in AECosim software (Bentley) same feature that we need for a BIM software like Revit.
I think that simply allowing the opening of a linked model in the same Revit instance as the host model is what's being asked here? Currently, you either have to close the host model to open the link, or open another instance of Revit and open the link there.
Agreed, something like ACAD's REFEDIT would be slick!
Not being able to edit a linked model is a crucial feature that allows us to share our model on BIM360 with people outside our company. If there was any possibility that someone outside the company could even accidentally edit our file, I am certain management would decide BIM360 is not secure enough, and we'd go back to downloading and uploading our revit files twice a week like back in the stone ages.
I agree with @k.nemcek , like AutoCAD with refedit feature. Having this in Revit software to just click the Revit Link from project browser would go straight open it, save and close - then the parent file will be updated.
This saves time rather than conventional way of 'open/unload' the revit link (because you cannot open it on the same session), then modify link and then close. Workaround, you need to open another session and open that particular revit link, edit and close. Then you go back to the parent file and reload that revit link. Workflow like this is too tedious and consuming time.
Hope Autodesk API Revit software developers considering improving to save time editing Revit links, and please consider this urgent.
This would be an awesome feature, I wish they had it by now come 2023, but from the point of view of the software developers, it sounds like it would be a callosal nightmare. That's likely why they don't have this feature
