I need to check for conflicts with the structural files. I added the structural Revit file as a link but I can't see the beams or columns. I checked the view template and everything seems to be fine. Am I doing something wrong? Any help is highly appreciated, thanks.
Adding structural beams and columns to mechanical file.
Check display settings for linked file, if it isn't By Host View, you need to manage visibility there.
I already tried a few settings using the custom option but I still can't see beams and columns.
When you say you 'can't see the beams or columns', does that mean you are seeing everything else in that link?
Or is the entire link not visible?
If the entire link, try Zoom Extents in 3D view (ZE) just to check if it's there, just way off the screen.

Below there are a few images from what I'm able to see. Using the Camera view I can see the beams, columns, supports but when I look at the regular top view I can only see some columns. I tried messing with the view range but that is not showing the beams. I believe is mostly the horizontal beams that I can't see.
In your plan view, try a Plan Region.
Otherwise, it may be you need to keep working with the Visibility graphics.

I tried the plan region but that didn't do anything. Here are some of the setting I have set for the Visibility Graphics. Not sure if I'm missing something.
This may help: Element or elements are missing from specific views within Revit that can be found in other views
