Create Area Plans in linked files

[Anonymous]

I´m trying to create Area plans in a Revit file where the exterior walls are placed in a linked rvt file. (Due to file size)
The link is marked as "Room Bounding", but when I try to populate the Area Plan with Areas, they don`t recognise the exterior walls and I get "Area is not in a properly enclosed region".

I´ve tried Copy/monitor of the exterior walls, but that doesn´t help.

Is there a solution?

As simple as this may sound - I have had that issue when the linked file was 1/32" above my level. I had to make sure all the levels were exactly matching and then it would find the walls and create the boundaries.

this is something I have had trouble with so just double check and see what you have.

Thanks for your help,

It seems as if different levels was the problem. Now I can automatically create the area boundaries after using Copy / monitor.
