When you link Revit models together, by default Revit does not recognize room-bounding elements in the linked model. If you try to place a room between walls in the host project and walls (or other elements) in a linked model, Revit does not automatically recognize the room-bounding elements of the linked model. However, you can force Revit to recognize the room-bounding elements of a linked model. See Using Room Boundaries in a Linked Model.
Placing rooms in a host project (building exterior) using walls in a linked model (building interior)
More about rooms and linked models
- If you unload a linked model, rooms in the host project are no longer bounded by the room-bounding elements in the linked model.
- Elements in a nested link are room-bounding when you turn on the Room Bounding parameter of the nested linked model and the Room Bounding parameter of its parent model.
