When linking CAD Files, you don't have to delete the Layers. You can use Visibility/ Graphics Overrides, look at Imported Categories, and turn those layers off. This would be View Specific, but it enables you to preserve the layers. Thanks for clearing up Room Bounding, and Copy/ Monitor. This has caused some confusion in our group for quite some time. Great Job, again.

If you have a big size model we found out that the best option is to make new model name CAD and there link all the CAD files (architectures, electro, hvac...) and then you link Revit CAD model in BAU model or TGA model.

As an electrical modeler I always use the option "origin the origin" when linking files. And I never move linked objects. Otherwise It gives problems with coordination between different models from others contractors. For example an architect who links my file in his/her model to look for collisions between walls, cableducts and plumbing. When I start a new project I first link the architectural model and then place the electrical components.

Thank you sir, you are the very best.

Great Video

Great content! Could you cower sometime a topic "Digital twin" in Revit? Especiallly integration of IoT and BIM360 viewer for the Facility management. Maybe also how would you approach making BIM from CAD drawings (for the old buildings)? Pozdrav

Good day sir, I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making these help videos. You mentioned around 13:00 Revit Links in VG override "if you have it" of course I don't have it so how do I get the Revit Links to show up in VG links?

Good afternoon sir. Do you have any recommendations for using and sharing Revit models on a cloud based software system? Kind regards..

Make the video for survey point ,project point ,internal origin setup for any project before starting

Thanks for very nice content, but i have a problem with linked model, when i check on (Room Bounding) it still not possible to place rooms ! WHAT CAN I DO?

What do you think about the ghost CAD link method? Like link all your DWG in a blank RVT file and then link this to your project and then use link by view. Some say this makes your model much lighter and also keeps DWG more organised.

Can you import Revit into Sketchup or visa versa?

Hi, what if the link is not visible when you bring it in to one's model? I'm assuming it's a Visibility graphics issue. Trying to figure that out.

HI Balkan Architect........i have an issue with linking DWG into Revit. There seem to be an issue with the line graphics of the DWG in revit not being straight and skewed. Are you able to provide some tips on how to rectify this issue or point me to a video you may have done already to cover this subject matter ?

Can you make a video for efficiencies on linked revit models with AutoCAD files? I also use filters in my templates. I am trying to find efficiencies, but new to templates. I am looking for efficiencies on making multiple views of different disciplines. Example is make electrical view with template. And then create a duplicate of that view, and apply a new template for mechanical. Keep in mind that the view may change what shows based on the 2 different view template settings (things may change what shows from the revit and imported CAD file). I am an MEP drafter that sets up our revit projects using the Architectural model. Thanks in advance.

Whats the difference between relative and absolute?

I’m trying to link a revit file that I customized into the electrical template in 2023 but the file is not showing in link revit.Any help?

Might want to correct the spelling on the teaser image.

Hello.. I'm Indresh Bhardwaj... I'm interested you Revit tutorial... I'm learn Revit Advance course... Provide Revit Advance link...

There are still some bugs/problems when using Revit-Link... 1. Bottom elevation of linked floor cannot be shown properly ESPECIALLY two or more floors are lapping 2. The schedule of linked objects cannot get the room information since the objects and rooms are in separated files

Good morning my name is Andrew You do all ur drawing in metric I'm from Jamaica and I use impreal so I buy one of ur personalized template and I'm very disappointed because it have nothing like what u advertise at all
