I have a site created in one file, and have linked a few Revit models into the site.  There are 4 duplicate buildings currently

on the site, however the client now wants to change the roof orientation on 2 of the buildings.  I'm thinking of simply creating

a design option showing the orientation of the roofs, but I don't recall seeing a place to toggle design options in a linked

file.  Is there a way to control design option per instance with linked revit files?

Thanks!

You can control DO's in the VG settings for the base file and independently for the linked files.

Good deal, works well.  This is especially useful because you can control it per instance as well. I'll have to mess around

more in the options and see exactly what you can control.  Thanks!
