Room Boundaries in Linked Models

When you link Revit models together, by default Revit Architecture 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 Architecture does not automatically recognize the room-bounding
elements of the linked model. However, you can force Revit Architecture to recognize the room-bounding
elements of a linked model. See
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.
