I still dont believe that the tags will grab materials in a minked model.<BR/><BR/>If they wont, Linked View is the best option because thats how weve been noting our sections.<BR/><BR/>Aside from that, i have hesitations with a large project team, of having them model in one model, and detail a section in another... Vis a vis somebody moves something and it all goes to hell, LOL.<BR/><BR/>But we will see how it plays out :)<BR/><BR/>The parent/child thing bothers me, regardless of how i detail it... Stupid wall types, heheheAaron Mallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146075275463175361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422615611587038208.post-40234442748493689132008-02-29T02:06:00.000-05:002008-02-29T02:06:00.000-05:00Small correction...hiding select elements in linke...Small correction...hiding select elements in linked files was actually introduced in 2008.Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4422615611587038208.post-45721633867050399672008-02-29T02:01:00.000-05:002008-02-29T02:01:00.000-05:00Great post Maller :)I don't know if I would go the...Great post Maller :)<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I would go the "by linked view route". 2009 will let you edit linework in views containing linked elements. So I would just cut a section for example in the same way I would in a project containing all the geometry in the host file and just edit linework that needs fixed, add detail components etc....treat the section just like a normal section. In 2008 the drawback is that you cannot do linework editing, which is a killer deal.<BR/><BR/>And oh by the way, just in case you haven't noticed, in 2009 you can also do an element hide (tab-select) in a view for an individual object in the linked project ;) So basically, now we have the exact same flexibilities for elements in linked files that exist in the host project!Dave Baldacchinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431940617680243953noreply@blogger.com
