Room Boundary problems

I'm trying to create a room schedule for an office tower. The core walls come up from Level one, and the other walls are in a group that is reapeated up the building. When I place room tags, it keeps wanting to select the whole building plate, instead of just the rooms that I want. All of the walls are tagged as room bounding, and I've gone through and "joined" all the walls. I'm getting frustrated. I wish you could draw a chain box with the room boundary lines, like how floors are made.

Any advice? Also, a room renumbering routine would be nice...

Ok, so I found the drawing lines & boundaries, like for creating floors...

I suspect that you have walls draw such that they cross (since you mention
you used the join tool on the walls.) See attached image. If so, this
results in invalid boundaries. Walls should be drawn as they are built. One
wall will go straight through. The other will be two walls with each one
stopping on either side. There will be no need to use the join tool then and
the room tags will probably work just fine.

Use room separation lines sparingly.
