Project Index that includes Layouts from Hotlink File

I have a Teamwork-ed Host file, with another teamwork file hotlinked into my Host file (we have a single project with two buildings).

 

I want to create a single project index in the Host file that includes all layouts from the Host file, but also the layouts from the hotlinked file. Is there a way to do this? To me, it appears that layouts aren't even a part of an HLM. If that's true, is my best option to create blank layouts in my Host file, so that I can manually and individually index the layouts from the hotlink file? Thanks!

 

(PS: I initially created this in the wrong section of the forum, so I've added it here too. Sorry!)

No, it is not possible to do.

If this is what you wish to achieve, then my recommendation would be to have these two model Teamwork files (they would not contains any Layouts, except for the single mandatory Layout in each, which can be an empty Layout - every Project must contain at least 1 Layout), and then create a separate documentation PLN file or Teamwork file. In that file, you can have all your Layouts in one place, and you can place Views onto those Layouts from whichever model PLN/Teamwork file (host file or any module PLN file) you want using the Browse Project/Browse Teamwork Project command in the Navigator or Organizer Palette.
