Std Link - missing sub element visibility in a linked Arch Building Part [edited]

Post by PMac »

Hi All, this has stumped me.

Trying to link an Arch Building Part into a target file.

Have created a box and a cylinder in an attached Source file. Have taken copies of both these objects and placed them in a Building Part.

Have created a Std Link in the attached target file. The linked BP Label and Level display OK but never the actual objects that are sub-elements within the BP. I expected to see a BP Label, Level, a red Box001 and a red Cylinder001.

Can someone please explain why I am unable to see the BP elements in the target 3D view, noting that they do show in the treeview? What have I missed?

I could Import the links, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of building small objects in an external file? I might as well have created all objects in one file.
