Linked Revit rooms not pulling through

Hi @gregatze,

@gregatze

I downloaded the latest Revit plug-in yesterday, so it sounds like you guys are still working on the following, right?

We spent several weeks on this, but hit a bug in the Revit API that made it impossible to support this feature. See here:

Support update for Revit Linked Models (Rooms)

Hi @milog, Thank you for the detailed explanation. We did a lengthy and full refactor of the code to be able to support parsing rooms from linked models only to find a blocking bug in the Revit API during the very final tests. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/getboundarysegments-with-linked-models/m-p/13382343 The problem is that if a room is partly bounded by elements in the host model and partly bounded with the elements in the linked model which is very frequent in the case o…

Jeremy Tammik suggested a solution that is a workaround, but it will take a similar time as opening the files separately and loading the rooms. It feels like we might want to try that anyway.

I’m not sure why “Bind Link” doesn’t bypass this need since “In Revit, ‘Bind Link’ converts a linked Revit model into a group within the host model, effectively integrating the linked model’s elements and geometry directly into the current project.” but clearly that’s been tried and it doesn’t work quite right. I wonder if ungrouping would help

Binding the links into a single model should solve the problem, but as you mentioned, it is not a practical solution for large models.

Our current focus is on improving the performance of the tables for larger models. Once that is addressed, we will work on improving the workflow for parsing the windows on curved walls. And after those, we should be able to give Jeremy’s suggestion a try and see if it solves the problem.
