# 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

{% hint style="info" %}
**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&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Without Numbering walls you will not be able to create frame assemblies.
{% endhint %}

## 2. Setup view templates

Prepare **View Templates** for view types that you will create (e.g., 3D, plan, elevation, or section).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
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
  {% endhint %}

## 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**&#x20;

## 4. Create assembly

Click **Create Assembly** and select the frame.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Assemblies are visible in the project browser under the **Assemblies** section.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Detail Views** will be located under the **Views** in the project browser.&#x20;

All other views and schedules will be located under the **Assemblies**.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/metal-framing/faq/shop-drawings/how-to-show-linked-mep-model-in-assembly-views.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
