You can include elements from linked models in schedules of model elements (such as walls, floors, and roofs) and in drawing lists. They are not supported for note blocks, view lists, or key schedules.
All fields that are available for elements in the host project are available for elements in linked models. The behavior of some fields changes when you add elements from linked models to a schedule. For example, the Family, Type, Family and Type, Level, and Material parameters become read-only for elements in both the host and linked models. You also cannot filter a schedule by the Family, Type, Family and Type, Level, or Material parameters.
You can include project information (such as the client name or the project address) and information about the linked model (such as the instance name or the file name) in a schedule. Including information about the linked model is useful when you have multiple copies of a linked model in your project (for example, multiple identical buildings on a site or multiple identical floors in a building) and you need to identify in the schedule which instance of the linked model each element comes from.
