Spaces (created in Revit MEP ) can be bounded by elements in linked models, in the host model, or in both. In Revit MEP , spaces use the computation height that is defined in the architectural model. A space understands in which room of a linked model it resides, and it can report the identity of that room. at 10:38 AM.

I wanted to use phones and web browsers to acquire and sort BIM data directly from Revit models. I would like mechanical/plumbing in Revit MEP to have the same connection philosophy as Revit Structure using and analytical models.
