Include Items from Linked model in the Item In Room or Level overview

In addition to Family Instances in the current (host) model, you can look for Items/ Revit Family Instances in linked models for selected Levels or Room(s) / Space(s) within the window:

"Items in room"
"Items in level/model"
"Items in level/model (space)

For example, you are working within a shell model that is a host model for the fit-out and MEP models, which are linked models. To view/compare the Family Instances within the linked models against the planned dRofus Items, first determine if you are looking for Items in Room or by Level/Selection.
