Specifying the Linked Model as Room-Bounding

You must activate the Room Bounding type property on the linked model itself to be able to place spaces in a linked model (this setting is deactivated by default).

  1. Open your project.
  2. Click Manage tabManage Project panel.
  3. In the Import/Link RVT dialog, navigate to the project to which you want to link, and click Open.

    The Revit Linked Model opens in the current project. Next, you specify the linked model as room-bounding.

  4. Place the cursor over the linked model, and after it highlights, right-click, and click Properties.
  5. On the Properties palette, click Edit Type.
  6. In the Type Properties dialog, select the Room Bounding check box, and click OK.
