My Revit file has linked models (e.g. a steel supplier's model) — why isn't their data imported?

Linked models are excluded by default. In the Speckle Connector’s publish dialog, scroll to the Publish settings panel and switch Include Linked Models on, then publish again.If the linked IFC is heavy, it can be easier to add it as a separate model on the Real-Time LCA project rather than bundling it through the host file.Walkthrough: Speckle for Revit → Confirm publish settings.
Why can't I sign in to Speckle from the Connector?
Why can't I sign in to Speckle from the Connector?
The Speckle Connector ships pointing at the public Speckle server, app.speckle.systems, by default. Real-Time LCA runs its own Speckle server, so you need to point the Connector at api.realtimelca.com instead.Sign in with the username and password from the Connect Real-Time LCA with Speckle email we sent you.Step-by-step: Get set up with Speckle, or the host-specific walkthrough for Revit, Archicad, Rhino, or Grasshopper.
If a material name changes in Revit, do I lose the EPD mapping when I re-push via Speckle?
If a material name changes in Revit, do I lose the EPD mapping when I re-push via Speckle?
Yes. EPD mappings are keyed on the combination of type and material name, so if either one changes — even by a single character — the link is broken.Once the identifier changes, we have no way of knowing what actually changed. A typo correction and a genuine change — say an inner wall becoming an outer wall — look identical to us: both just show up as a new identifier. Because we can’t tell a harmless edit from a real change, we can’t safely carry the mapping over in either case.
