Space Naming
When creating spaces, Revit MEP assigns each one a generic space
name and number. To reflect the linked architectural room names and
numbers in your working schedule, add the fields Room: Name and
Room: Number from the Rooms category in the Available Fields
drop-down, located on the Fields tab in the Schedule Properties dialog
box. Edit the space names and numbers to match the linked file. You
can then hide the Room: Name and Room: Number columns to
streamline your schedule and unhide them periodically to view any
changes that may have occurred during the design. The Space Naming
Utility add-in is another essential tool that, if installed, will name and
number the spaces automatically per the architectural link. The Space
