How to show linked MEP model in assembly views?

1. Data inputs

  1. Go to Wall+M/Floor+M/Roof+M

  2. Open Number Elements and click Number Walls/Floors/Roofs

  3. Click on Number Elements to number framing elements

Number Walls - automatic input in the Wall instance Mark parameter

Number Elements - automatic input in the Structural Framing and Structural Connection instance FM SortMark and other parameters

Without Numbering walls you will not be able to create frame assemblies.

2. Setup view templates

Prepare View Templates for view types that you will create (e.g., 3D, plan, elevation, or section).

We recommend keeping these family categories visible:

Model Categories

  • MEP categories (e.g. Ducts, Pipes, etc.) - only if you need to show linked MEP

  • Structural Framing (for studs, plates, etc.)

  • Structural Connections (for angles, bolts, etc.)

Annotation Categories

  • Dimensions

  • Structural Framing Tags

Linked Models

  • Select linked MEP or other models

3. Setup Drawing Configurations

  1. Open Drawing Configuration.

  2. In the Assembly Views tab, create new or modify selected views:

  • Check the box under Create Detail View column

  • Apply your chosen View Template

  • Apply Dimensioning Rule and Tagging Config

4. Create assembly

Click Create Assembly and select the frame.

Assemblies are visible in the project browser under the Assemblies section.

Detail Views will be located under the Views in the project browser.

All other views and schedules will be located under the Assemblies.
