Hi -- I've brought this up before, but now i have more information on what's wrong. Also, it's happening in a new project, which doubles my concern.
Basically, when I link a site model into my building model, the "wireframe" of several objects, both modeled-in-place and regular families DETACH from the objects and stay floating in place if I attempt to move the link.
Even after the initial import, these outlines are not necessarily "on" their objects.
Also, only partial wireframes are missing. IE, ONE of the edges from the satellite dishes, the trunk, and only SOME of the branches of the trees.
if I move the site... up, down, rotate, etc, the wireframes move--they are not fixed in space--but they do NOT move in a logical manner, or with the rest of the imported file. With progressively more moving, the wireframes drift farther away from the objects, for example. Obviously, the answer is to not move the import. But even the initial import is screwed up somewhat.
And finally, this only happens in the 3D with perspective view. as you can see in the linked image, a typical 3D view doesn't have these artifacts, and neither does a floor plan. However, interior walkthroughs of the model are our goal, and with wireframe partial objects scattered in the sky or in the building, it's no good.
Selecting the imported file, or an object within the imported file instantly snaps the wireframes back into place, but deselecting sends them back into space.
Ideas??? This is driving me absolutely nuts. Now that this has happened on two unrelated projects, I'm more inclined to think other people have experienced this and might have answers.

What do you mean by "wireframes"? Wireframe is a view control. Is this linework part of the family or added? If this is not the proper terminology the change it.
Are you doing something strange with model implace objects? If you use workplanes based on a link, then remove, move that link you can confuse Revit.
It sounds like you are removing the link and then re-linking. That is a bad process. Especially if you are using hosted objects.
Just curious. Why are you not putting the trees in the site model? That would seem to be best.

well... obviously I know wireframe is a view type... um.
If you look at the picture, you'll see that partial "wireframes" have detached from various objects.
In the attached picture, (I wasn't very clear on this) You're looking at a site model linked into a blank template. I did this as a control, to try to figure out what caused the edge lines to detach from the objects, and this proved it had nothing to do with my building model.
So, everything in these views *IS* the site model, but by virtue of being linked is now screwed up.
