Switching between groups and links may be useful in the following scenarios:
■ Your model contains multiple groups of repeating elements that exist as linked Revit models. As you
work in the main model, you can convert the linked models to groups to make edits. This allows you to
make edits to linked models in context of the main model. When you finish modifying the group, you
can convert it back to a link.
■ You have created a group or linked Revit model, and then decide that you need to change the group to
a linked model, or change the linked model to a group.
When you convert a group to a linked Revit model, any excluded elements are restored in the link. For more
information about excluded elements, see
Excluding Elements from a Group Instance on page 290.
Converting Groups to Linked Revit Models
1 In the drawing area, select the group.
2 On the Options Bar, click Link.
3 In the Convert Group to Link dialog, select one of the following:
■
Create New: Creates a new Revit model. When you select Create New, the Save Group dialog
opens. Navigate to the location where you want to save the file. If you want the new link to
have the same name as the group, leave the default name, otherwise enter a name for the
link, and click Save.
■
Use Existing: Replaces the group with an existing Revit model. When you select this option,
the Open dialog opens. Navigate to the location of the Revit file you want to use, and click
Open.
The Revit Links branch in the Project Browser updates with the new linked file name.
If there is a linked Revit model in the project with the same name as the group, a message appears to indicate
this. You can do one of the following:
■ Click Yes to replace the file.
■ Click No to save the file with a new name. The Save Group dialog opens where you can enter a new
name for the linked Revit model.
■ Click Cancel to cancel the conversion.
Converting Linked Revit Models to Groups
1 In the drawing area, select the linked Revit model.
2 On the Options Bar, click Bind.
3 In the Bind Link Options dialog, select the elements and datum to include in the group, and
click OK.
If there is a group in the project with the same name as the linked Revit model, a message appears to indicate
this. You can do one of the following:
■ Click Yes to replace the group.
■ Click No to save the group with a new name. Another message appears indicating that all instances of
the linked model will be deleted from the project, but the linked model file will still be loaded in the
project. You can remove the linked file from the project by clicking Remove Link in the message dialog,
or you can remove it at a later time from the Manage Links dialog. See
Managing Links on page 1222.
