Apply halftone
12 Using the same technique learned in the previous steps, clear the Levels display for
c_Condo_Complex.rvt.
13 In the Project Browser, under Floor Plans, double-click Level 1.
14 On the View menu, click Visibility/Graphics.
15 In the Visibility/Graphics dialog, click the Revit Links tab.
16 Under Visibility, expand c_Townhouse.rvt.
Notice the option to halftone individual instances of the townhouse model.
17 Select Halftone for the Townhouse project, and click OK.
Halftone displays objects with half their normal darkness. With linked files, you can apply
halftone to the entire linked project or individual instances of the model. Using the Custom
option, you can also apply halftone to individual categories. Notice both townhouses display
in halftone.
Detail levels of a linked file
18 On the View menu, click Visibility/Graphics.
19 In the Visibility/Graphics dialog, click the Revit Links tab.
20 For c_Townhouse.rvt, under Display Settings, click By Host View.
21 In the RVT Link Display Settings dialog, on the Basics tab, select Custom.
22 Click the Model Categories tab.
23 In the Model categories list, select .
By default, the detail level for the linked townhouse project is set to By Host View. This means
that the detail level of the linked file is matched to the detail level of the current active project
view. By selecting custom under Model Categories, you can independently set the detail level
for each model category for each link on a per view basis. You can click the value for Detail
Level, and then set the detail level to coarse, medium, or fine.
In this case, no detail level changes are required.
24 Click OK.
