Often we will add a revit link mid project for coordination and I want to be able to turn it off in all view templates. I have figured out how to turn off ALL linked files in view templates. However I want to turn off a specific revit link in the templates. [RVT links_2021-01-21_08-51-35]

Hello to hide a Revit Link in view (Visibility / Graphics), it’s necessary to get the Type (RevitLinkType) of RevitLinkInstance [image]

I’ve never seen those View Type and Views.GetByType nodes. Are they part of a package? They seem useful! As for your question, I can’t seem to find any node for that particular setting. Only workaround I can think of is to (somehow?) create a view filter for that specific revit link and to use the …

Again, this only works for Views, not View Templates. The API does not currently allow for modifying the RVT Links portion …

View templates are treated like views from what I can see. I was able to turn off the specific revit link in the view template. I even created a new view that had the link, when I applied the template it turn off. However the view template shows the link as turned on which could confuse users. [C…

Hi @Evan.Pond , I’m also trying to find a solution for this problem. Each time I load a new rvt link I have to modify every view template. I didn’t find the node “View.SetElementOverrides”. From wich package does it come from? Thank you.

The “View SetElementOverrides” node is from the Genius Loci package.
