Select Linked Elements
Overcomes Revit's limitations by allowing you to select and highlight multiple individual
elements
directly within a linked model. This makes it easy to perform actions like copying elements from
a
link into your current project.
Steps to use Select Linked Elements:
- Start the "Select Linked Elements" tool from the ribbon.
- You will be prompted to click on the desired linked Revit model in your view.
- After selecting the link, you can then select one or more individual elements within that model.
- Once your selection is complete, you can proceed with other Revit commands, such as copying the elements to your host project.
