Ok,

Needing to schedule MEP receptacle in our architectural model.

Can't seem to get the item to show up in Schedule.

--

Show linked info is selected in the "fields" part in schedule properties.
Room calculation point in linked MEP model is turned on for element
Filtering schedule based on Room Calculation Point (Room #)

--

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

How are you trying to filter your schedule.
Rooms and room information do not transfer across models.
(ie you can't schedule by room equipment from another model unless that exact same room exists in the model you are linking in)
Did you check the "Include Linked Models" check box.
I believe the use of spaces is the preferred method to schedule things across linked models since you can spaces will come across linked models.

Thanks, I am using rooms in the main (host) model.

Schedule is filtered by Room and then specific text only pertinent to that schedule (Contractor vs. Owner Provided).

Yes--Include Linked Models is checked

Possible to convert room to space and then copy into linked model?

Nope, Can't convert a room to a space.
But your Consultant/MEP group can tab select your room and copy it into their model. That's an option.
Sadly you can't copy monitor rooms either so I'd make sure everything is correct.
Hope that helps.
