When you link models together, by default Revit does not recognize room-bounding elements in the linked model.
This information applies to linked Revit models and linked IFC models.
If you try to place a room between walls in the host model 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 use the room-bounding elements of a linked model.
For example, the following floor plan shows rooms being placed using the room boundaries defined by walls in the host model (blue walls) and walls in the linked model (yellow walls).
More about rooms and linked models
- If you unload a linked model, rooms in the host model are no longer bounded by the room-bounding elements in the linked model.
- For linked Revit models, 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.
