When creating a schedule, mark "include elements in links. If you need rooms etc dont forget to add "Room bounding" option for your link.

Hi @Anonymous

Of course it is posible! Click HERE

Thank you @Karol_Piroska for the illustration.

When you link models together, by default Revit does not recognize room-bounding elements in the linked model. However, when linking models together, you can make the host model recognize the Room Bounding parameter of elements in the linked model. Click HERE on how to use Room Boundaries in a Linked Model

Checking the 'include elements in links' and choosing the drop down list 'Select available fields from' provide two parameters:

File Name
Name (this is a value you can control/change). Please see attached image which shows an example of elements both in the host file and in a linked file.
