Sorry, I think this question may remain question for a while. See below for some more context. I conclude with I can provide examples of rogue devices but I don't think that will address my original question of un-hosting from linked models.
Our elements are not always loosing the host and some elements are thrown around more than once before they get fixed/noticed. This is even more difficult to understand and keep track of when we work live on B360 because we don't know when it happens. Also as you may know the same item can change locations multiple times before the host element is moved in a way that actually orphans an electrical device. All that can happen before its even noticed by our staff.
One project that I am dealing with has an ~3 year construction time that we are one year into. Every time I get into the model (~1/month) to make supplemental drawings, I notice about 5-30 devices no longer located correctly. Just this one project has 21+ sheets per discipline (Ltg, Pwr, FA, T, AV, and Security). Roughly ~30,000 electrical total devices and maybe ~15,000 wall mounted electrical devices. I am not concerned with ceiling mounted stuff because those are all hosted to reference plans we control and I am not concerned with floor mounted stuff because they are hosted to levels that rarely move but we also control through copy/monitoring. So really its wall mounted items that are moving with walls or moving with other linked vertical hosts such as casework, furniture, generic models, and etc... In this project alone I have found major issues such as elements showing on the floors above/below or elements not even shown on a view anymore by either jumping above, below, or to the side of the building. On top of these wild shifts I have had a couple hundred smaller shifts that are not as noticeable. Again this is one project of a few I would like to not host families to the arch link. Each specific family jump is, I am sure, related to some underlying reason, but like any other time I dive into figure these things out, it is all speculation and we end up re-hosting them back to the correct location. Then we wait for it to happen again, with hopes it don't. Since these are active/ongoing project's, we correct the issues as we see them. So any examples I can show you would have to be through old PDF's or pictures from previous emails. I can share some of those but would they really be of any use and I don't believe it would help me figure out the quick method to un-host our families from the linked model. So any more thoughts pertaining to the original question?
