Hi - Im trying to import data from our revit model. In our model we have linked the steel suppliers model but the data from that file is not being imported. Isn’t there any way to get this to work?

Hi @Lukas_Hejl  
Thank you for your question.

Yes there is a way 😀  
When you go to the project in Speckle and open up the selection there is the possibility to go to advanced settings (see screenshot). From there you can tick of Send linked models and send the model again.

Have a nice summer!

Best regards

Hi @Lukas_Hejl  
One clarifying question from me.  
The steel supplier model, is that originally an IFC that is being converted to a Revit model?

Hi Martin

The IFC was originally an external revit model and was sent to us converted to an IFC. The IFC file was imported into our main revit model. It worked when I’d change the Speckle settings but the IFC file was to heavy so I just added a new model in the Real Time project and it worked👍
