Help with workshared links

Hi there, I would appreciate some help.

I'm working on a workshared project where I'm drawing ductwork on one file, and the pipe fitters are drawing pipe in another file. We both have eachothers files linked into eachothers respected Revit file.

On this project, we will have Bangits with all thread rods dropping 18" below the deck so that the fireproofing won't be disturbed later on when we hang our duct.

On my file, I added a "fake structural floor" 18" below the decking so that that the rods of my hangers attach to that fake floor instead of the structural floor of the architectural model. We need to do this so the prefabricated rods and hanger system that the shop will make are the correct length as if they were hanging 18" below the decking, attached to the bangit rod via a coupling.

Here's the dilemma, since the pipe fitters have our model linked into their file (for ease of coordination), that false structural floor comes up on their model too now. They do not want that as they are using a different method of hanging their pipe.

We've tried turning off the workset that the false floor is associated to, but the hanger rods still snap to the false floor in their model.

Other than unloading our link, what could be done to prevent their rods from snapping to my false structural floor?

BUSCO MÁSTER BIM MEP

Buenas, busco algún máster que me podáis aconsejar de Instalaciones MEP, BIM, online. Ya he hablado con los de Zigurat, España, pero no es 100% online, hay que acudir por la tarde, los martes y jueves a unas clases telemáticas, y por mi trabajo me es imposible.

Me gustaría que el curso diera el programa CYPE (Cálculo de Instalaciones) para poder aplicar el CTE, RITE y REBT. Al final modelar y coordinar instalaciones ya lo hago en el trabajo actual, pero al ser yo un perfil junior aún me queda aplicar y entender el apartado técnico.

Muchas gracias de antemano :)
