Hey guys,
I've built condo units in separate files, each one contains ceiling shown (underlayed) in the viewport (see attached).
Then after I linked the unites to the main file, and linked the views to the main viewport, I couldn’t see the ceiling underlayed! I tried to underlay in the main file, but it didnt work as well! (see attached)
Any suggestions??
Thanks.

You don't label bview 2 and 3 and they are not in the same location so we don't know what you are trying to show.
I would think Revit has a problem here because you don't have the view that is underlayed. It is in the linked model.

So what do you mean it doesn't work as well? You are showing us that it doesn't show at all! ...or is there another view you should show us that has the underlay you put in.
As I said - I doubt the linked underlay will work so you have to underlay. Perhaps we can assist you with the "doesn't work as well"

Yes my friend, when i try to underlay the ceiling view in the main file, it doesnt show the built ciling in the linked model.
and my question originally was if there is any suggestion on how i can underlay the ceiling (from a linked model) in the main file.
Sorry for the confusion.

I did a test and this does not work. As I said earlier, it seems Revit has problems with (in essance) a linked view within a linked view.
Perhaps you should use overhead lines in that file's view rather than an underlay.

You are following a learning cureve that we already did. We discovered that we don't want to use seperate linked models for "units" or in the case of hotels, room types. We now have them all in our main model.

Really! And how do you deal with the file size? I have over 260 units, if i built them in one file, the file size becomes humongous and dealing with it becomes such a pain in the A$$!
Groups also will increase the file size!
how do guys deal with Hi-Rise projects?
And i agree with you on the learning curve

You do use worksets, correct? Do you know that you can have reduced loads?
By assigning each of your different "units" to their own workset which is set to NOT be visible in all views, you can unload/load any of these worksets at any time and on start up, you can do a reduced load - and only load the worksets you need at startup.
Try it ... you'll like it.
