You can tried to put your Discipline in coordination mode and put the phase filter none and think you will see you elements another cuestion is maybe you do not have visible your grids and then you need to change your visibility graphics and turn on your grids.
Do you use Filters to manage grid visibility? Assuming you use worksets you might have the Active Workset assigned to one that is not Open or turned off in the view(s) you're looking at. Are the views that you're referring to positioned so the would see the extents of the grids? When you first link their model do you see their grids in other views too?

If the position of the linked file is not within the scope of the elevation views for example then those views won't see them. If you're referring to not seeing them in plan views the 3D position of the grids in section/elevation influences whether they are visible in plan/ceiling views. For example a four story building that has grids that don't cross over the fourth level won't show grids in the fourth floor views.
What @ToanDN replied should help reconcile their extent, assuming you've finished the copy/monitor process.
Also, during the Copy/Monitor process I've seen people click big Finish on the ribbon during multiple selection instead of the small Finish button on the Options bar. During multiple selection (Options Bar check box) it is necessary to use the small Finish button on the Options Bar to complete the selection process and then the big Finish button on the ribbon.

Here is the insanity loop I am currently in:
1) Remove the linked ARCH model to eliminate all copy/monitoring
2) Re-link ARCH model
3) Confirm elevations
4) Open first floor plan. Here is what I see:
5) Open VG and set Revit Links to "Linked View: 000_CORD_L1" (which is the view created by the architect specifically for Copy/Monitor Coordination.) Here is what I see:
6) Double-Check to ensure that I am in the Shared Levels & Grids Workset.
7) Copy/Monitor the Grids
8) Turn off grids in the linked ARCH model
9) Copy/Monitored Grids do not show. (Double-check grids are turned on in VG, they are)
10) Turn ON grids in the linked ARCH model
11) Attempt to Copy/Monitor again. Here is was I see:
12) Draw temporary grid. Select it, then all instances in project. Only the temporary grid is selected. The other grids (And whatever copy/monitored grids exist) are not. Select maximize 3D. Only the temp grid is maximized. This is unhelpful. Delete temp grid.
13) go into ARCH model in a separate instance of Revit. Attempt to maximize those grids. This is what I see:
In summation, I am totally stumped and COMPLETELY frustrated.
create a grid schedule and select all rows, highlight in model, the do the maximize 3d extent steps.

did you click the first Finish button to complete the selection, and second Finish button to complete the Copy/monitor process as @SteveKStafford has suggested. this is often overlook.
You shouldn't need to use By Linked View to see their grids. They should just be visible in a view that has Grids checked in V/G. Where is your building versus theirs in a section view? It might be that your model is not at the same elevation as theirs.
How are you turning off the grids in their model? V/G...override link (custom) > Model Categories (custom)?

I think that may be it! I opened a section view and this is what I found:
The arrow indicates the first floor, the red outline indicates the rest of the vertical footprint of the building.
I will admit to being completely brain-fried at this point. What is the (I'm sure obvious and easy) solution here? Provide steps if you can. Thank you!
The first step is to match levels in my model against theirs. I start in a section or elevation. Once levels match, I make any views I’ll need to work in and then I deal with grids.

Dear andyb,
First of all, we need to make sure that the grids are visible so try to draw a grid if it is shown then the problem might be from the copy /monitor grids. Then try to make a trial file project with just some grids and try to copy/monitor the grids if this works then maybe the architectural file contains a problem so we need to check it there. If the copy/monitor on a trial file didn't work then you need to check the host file. Also, try to change the grids type from the architectural(Linked Model).
Please let u know your results for this proposal.
Also if this solved your problem please mark as solution.
