What is the function of the 'Link Revit' option?

The function of the 'Link Revit' option is to allow users to attach another Revit model into the current project. This feature is essential for collaboration in architectural design, as it enables multiple team members to work on different aspects of a project within their own Revit files while still being able to reference each other’s work. When a Revit model is linked, it becomes a live reference within the host model, which can facilitate coordination, reduce duplication of efforts, and streamline workflows among project stakeholders.

This capability is especially useful in large projects where various disciplines—such as architecture, structural engineering, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing)—need to integrate their designs into a single cohesive project. Users can also control visibility settings for the linked model and update it as needed, ensuring that the project remains up-to-date throughout the design process.
