Is it possible to frame walls of a linked Revit or IFC model?

It‘s not possible to frame original walls/floors/roofs of a linked Revit or IFC model.

As an alternative, users can use the Copy/Monitor tool from the Collaboration tab. After picking the linked model, users must use the Copy tool to create copies of selected walls/floors/roofs.

However, there are a few limitations with this workflow:

• Copy/Monitor only works with linked Revit models. It doesn't support the linked IFC files.

• Before copying walls, users must first create wall/floor/roof types with layers that match the linked type layers.

• Metal Framing doesn‘t recognize the difference between linked model windows or doors and treats all openings as if they were generic openings.
