ROOMS NOT FILLING A SPACE

VERSION: 2011 (update 1)

PROBLEM:

Room objects don't extend to walls around a space.

POSSIBLE CAUSE:

Adjacent walls (including curtain walls) run through the space. These walls have had their profile edited, but the underlying wall actually cuts through the space.

SOLUTION 1:

Remake the offending walls, ensuring the underlying wall doesn't cut through the space.

SOLUTION 2:

Turn off Room Bounding in the offending walls. You will need to check if this effects other rooms.

HOW TO AVOID:

Problem is mostly likely to occur when making facades. Make sure facade walls don't extend into the building.

If this is not possible, make offending walls (including curtain walls) non-Room Bounding.

Revit now uses linked files to define room boundaries, so don't assume the problem won't occur just because the facade is in a linked file.
