# 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 %}

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;

# 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 dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
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=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
