In the vlog we’re going to look at how to work with Links in Revit 2026.
I’ll show you how to link both CAD drawings and Revit models into your project, and then we’ll explore how to manage those links using tools like Reload, Reload From, Show Link in Model, Unload, and Remove.

Revit Links are an essential part of collaboration, they help us keep our projects light, coordinate with consultants, and make updates quickly.

Why Use Links

• Instead of importing everything into your project, links keep the file size smaller.
• They’re great for collaboration  for example, if you receive a structural model or a CAD site plan, you can reference it without merging it permanently.
• And when those external files update, you can simply reload instead of redoing work.

Conclusion

The three key things to remember:

1. Where possible, use links instead of importing. It keeps your model light and efficient.
2. Use the Manage Links tools to stay in control when files update or move.
3. Unload when you need better performance, Remove when you no longer need the link.
