Transfers Rooms from Arch model to MEP model

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a situation in a current project (it might be easy to solve though).

Currently, we are working in a HVAC design in a worksharing environment. The Arch model that was provided by the Architectural firm has rooms placed in every floor plant, however, when we link the arch model into the MEP model such instances (rooms) are not transfered or I´m not able to identify them.

Those rooms are needed for an specific HVAC design workflow within Revit.

Can someone explain to me how to transfer those rooms from the architecturalmodel or if they are not visible how to make them appear?

Thanks in advance,

Joser

When linking in other models you will have to create spaces that match the architectural model. Under the Analyze tab you will see a button to create a space. After placing all your spaces be sure to run the Space Naming button to get all the names and numbers to match the architectural model.

Thank you for your answer,

I´m aware of that but the question was if those rooms can be seen or transfer into the MEP model. (just the rooms) 

Identifying all rooms in a MEP model without that aid of visualization it´s a burdersome activity, specially in big models. 

thanks again

Maybe I wasn't clear. You cannot transfer rooms like you are asking. Creating spaces is the only way to transfer this information between the two models. It only takes a few seconds and there is a option to place all spaces automatically. Give it a try

It sounds like the rooms tags are present in the arch revit model yes?  If so then you have a visibility issue with your arch revit link. If you bring up your visibility/graphic overrides are you able to turn on room tags in your revit link?  See screen-shot below.

also remember to see rooms and add their room tags from arch model to your MEP model the Arch model must not be ticked underlay and their visiblity graphics must show rooms and room tags, after you have place tag all rooms from linked model, you can then tick underlay mode for arch model and hide their tags.
