About Linked Models

ElumTools will operate with linked models in the typical Revit Architecture/MEP relationship using the following rules:

 

1. The luminaires, calculation points, and rooms/spaces used in the calculation must be in the host model (this is the typical Revit MEP use case).

2. The materials in the linked models need to be mapped using the ElumTools Material Mapping command to match those in the Host model. See Materials Mapping.

3. The "Selected Elements" option from the Calculate command series cannot detect selected elements from linked models.

4. Each Linked Model should have one or more 3D views defined. This is a requirement for Projected Calculation Points and Planar Face Calculation Points.
