There should be a way to turn off Mesh (components) in reference files. Currently, if you untick the "Mesh" Feature Definition from ORD Standards in explorer, it only turns off Mesh Components within the active model. The Mesh components that use the same feature definition, but are in a reference file, remain on. When un ticking "Mesh" from within the active model, the Mesh in the reference files should also turn off, or perhaps there should be an option under ORD Model tab in explorer (which displays the models within references) to dig down and turn off components as desired.

I never recommend users use the OpenRoads Standards section to control display. I recommend using Level Display to manage element display.
This method is required to control components used with the Quantities by Named Boundary tool and other tools that do not honor level display. Without this functionality, users who use reference file in their standard workflows cannot suitably control their data.
Agreed, typically levels are used to manage display, however, there are instances where the Mesh & Feature Lines are placed on the same level and we just want to turn off the mesh but not the feature lines. This is actually quite common. I suppose the work around would be to have a separate level for the mesh, but then you essentially need 2 levels for every component. For example, concrete curb would need a level for concrete_curb (feature lines) and concrete_curb_mesh (mesh).
