Join geometry for Revit Linked models
When working with the Architectural and Structural model is requiered to get the columns, beams, floors and walls to be joined in order to get the correct representation at the floor plans, section, etc.
There are some solutions like this (Joining walls between host model and linked model) that are not efficient because it needs a lot of manual work and this leads to errors or inconsistencies when there are changes.
It would be a great idea if Revit could join revit links with your project. Exemple: when i link a structural project to my architectural project, and join the disciplines, it would be great.
Ability to cut / join linked revit geometry from model object.
This will greatly facilitate the work with linked structural models.
Now we have to create a duplicating geometry of constructive elements, which increases the amount of unnecessary work and the risk of coordination issues.
This idea has been submitted many times under different names. I can't believe we do a huge complicate copy/monitor just to graphically join our walls, floors and columns. It's time to throw this workflow out the window and do some real architecture work.
elements specially SE columns are changed many times during project live time some new types with new sizes created till the project end and submitted and tracking all those changed by using copy/monitor is real headache , one of important Concept of using BIM & 3D modeling that architectures & engineers focus on engineering problems and the software is suppose to handle the drafting issues
-what workflow you mean & why it will been thrown out the window?
Using copy/monitor just to graphically fix he joint of columns and floor slabs to walls is silly. I will just be using detail items. Realistically, Revit should allow us to join these graphically instead of doing these ridiculous workaround and duplication of 3d information. We don't need the copy part unless we specifically need to copy and change something from the linked model. we still need the monitor part however, as things change like you mentioned.
I've posted the same Idea in April 2017, it's still there. If we can combine these two together, we'd get more votes for it. I do not know how this is not already an option.
With the industry using faster "live" rendering software like "Enscape" I feel this is going to demand some sort of ability to control linked files and the correlation of voids cutting hosts.
