What Revit Wants
In Revit 2015, you can use the IfcOpeningElement subcategory of Generic Models (and possibly other categories) for a Linked IFC to hide the orange “void” elements that appear in certain situations, as per this image:
Just use the Revit Links Display Settings to “override” settings in Visibility / Graphics (choose custom, and Model Categories tab also custom) to access this subcategory.

“The key is to remove all content before attempting to reinstall it. This is necessary because you are currently in a state where Revit is incorrectly under the impression that content installed properly.”

You should see this in your Autodesk Application Manager:
These are both to address heartbleed vulnerability. File names:

Firstly, make sure you have a model on Glue that you can access. Did you know that when you Glue something from Navisworks, it makes an NWD and puts it in a folder like this:
“C:UsersLuke JohnsonAppDataLocalNavisworksPlugin63baac4b-76c8-4ff8-9039-d51645fd1ddc.nwd”
Once you have a model on Glue that you would like to download and use as modelling context in Revit, make a new Navisworks file and:
If you have consistently used origin-to-origin “Revit zero” linking and project internal coordinates, you shouldn’t have any problems.

Notes:
55mb NWD took about 20mins to Glue
In this test, I used 2015 versions of Navisworks and Revit
Jeremy Tammik has kindly upgraded and released BipChecker for Revit 2015, you can download it at:
https://github.com/jeremytammik/BipChecker
Steps to get it going:
It should instantly be visible in Revit 2015, Addins, External Tools – even if you have Revit open. While it has many uses, immediately obvious are the fact that it shows whether a parameter is read-write and it also displays GUIDs for Shared Parameters. You can choose whether to display Instance or Type Parameters. Cool.
Here is some sample output:
The DevTV videos are one of the best ways for new Revit programmers to start to get their head around things, and they have been updated for Revit 2015. Links:
Check your Autodesk Application Manager:
Revit 2015 will now read “Update Release 2” in the About box:

I’m sorry but I couldn’t help myself… after the RVT and DWG link into RFA post over here, I had to try linking an IFC into an RFA file in Revit 2015. Guess what? It works.
All of the usual caveats apply for linking things into RFA files, as per the other post. Additionally, you can’t Bind, Copy From, host elements, or Pick edges of the linked IFC. Its only real use at this stage is for modelling context.
(note – the 15 part of the versioning now matches the Revit version ie. 2015)
