Hi everyone. I am currently doing renderings for another architect and i am having some trouble. The file is made up of about 8 revit links which make up the campus. When i open the Revit file the only views that i can see anything in are camera views and elevations. Floor plans and the default 3D view are blank. Ive tried everything i can think to try in the visibility graphics and a few other things.
If anyone knows whats going on and how i can make everything show up that would be great.
If not, I think my next option is just to combine everything into a single revit file without links. Is there anyway to simply take a linked file and make it a permanent part of the site file? What is the most simple way to go about doing this?
THanks in advance!

You need copies of all the linked files. Do you have those?
If you do have the files but can't see the linked files, then you probably have a path problem. Open your file and manage the links to reload them from where they are on your system.

I tried remapping them and still the same issue.
I can see them all in the camera views but in any other view its just blank.
Is there any way to make them a part of the site file and remove the link without copying each building from its file and pasting it?

Check the VG settings for the views in question. The linked files might be off. They could also be hidden in view ( use reveal hidden elements) and finally, they could be on seperate worksets which are turned off in view.

Phase filters could also be a possibility for why they're not showing.

Still no success.
Is there no easy way to make a revit link simply become part of the project?
For the purposes of cleaning the file up for export to 3ds max it would be easier to work this way anyway.

It turns out that Revit had just zoomed out in the view about 50000000 times and zoom to fit would do anything.
I ended up drawing a model line that was 10,000 ft long so i could see where the project was and zoom into it.

The problem that caused this extreme size is probably a CAD file, maybe a site?
Glad you found your problem.
