Linking Files

Linking other Revit files

eg. electrical services etc.

Open a 3D view in the main file so you easily see what's going on with the position of the linked file, if needed. (Note: if 'Link Revit' is greyed out, this should also fix that).

1. Insert menu, 'Link Revit'
2. Navigate to the place where the other revit files are. IMPORTANT - all the files to be linked, including the main file, must be in the same folder/place.
3. Select the file and choose to link as below, with positioning using 'Auto - by shared coordinates' (this assumes you are all using the correct coordinates)
