How can i turn off Grids from a linked IFC?


Last modified on: 11 January 2023

It is possible to turn off Grids from a linked IFC file with following steps:


  1. Open the Visibility/Graphic Overrides of the View/Viewtemplate
  2. Open the 'Revit Links' tab
  3. Behind the IFC model click the [ By Host View ] button in the 'Display Settings' column
  4. Select the 'Custom' option:
  5. Activate the 'Annotation Categories' tab,
  6. Behind 'Annotation categories' select the '<Custom>' option,
  7. Find the 'Grids' category and de-activate this category:
  8. Click [ Apply ]
  9. Click [ OK ]
  10. Click [ Apply ] 
  11. Click [ OK ]


This setting will probably be used for several views, perhaps it is better to create a Viewtemplate with this setting.
