Rooms in a Linked Model

How does one edit room info in a linked model? Or is it possible to Copy/Monitor rooms? My interior designer has our model linked into hers, and she needs the rooms in her model to input finish info. Thank you for the help!

She can't.

Here is what I would do if I were her:

- Create a Generic Model family with all shared parameters necessary for the Finish information.
- Draw a couple of small lines in the family for reference so that it can be located in a Room. Might as well put them in a new subcategory so that they can be turned off in any irrelevant views.

- (Optional) Create some labels referencing the shared parameter values and place them in the family.  It is so the finish information will show on a plan as well.
- Load the family into the project and place one in each Room.
- Import the same shared parameters in the project and assign them to Generic Model category.
- Create a Generic Model schedule and get the field Room Name/Number and any Room inofrmation as needed (Area, Perimeter, Volume, etc...) from the dropdown. The schedule will look like a Room schedule even though it is not
- Get the Interior Finish shared parameters in the schedule
- Enter the Interior Finish information for each Room
