Overlapped panels instead of openings

[SerhanB]

Hi there,

Recently I faced an issue with revit and robot versions 2014. I have shaft openings on a floor which are adjesent to boundry contour of the floor. I can not move/modify the opening border in analytical model of revit and that causes an issue where those holes aren't recognized as opening but transferred to robot as seperate panels. As a result overlapping problem occurs. Can you please check the attached files and give me ideas to overcome this.

Thank you!

Open the panel definition dialog > set it as opening > click inside the panel that you want to be an opening

Hi Artur,
thanks for the prompt solution but how can I prevent this from happening?

I have made some test on your model to find out what causes such effect but I haven't been able to determine the exact reason. I isolated a sample slab with openings that are incorrectly transferred to Robot in the Revit file and focused on it. I noticed that the openings that cause problems are defined as shafts. In general such definition should be correctly recognized and when I made additional tests on a new Revit model it was. The same happened (correct transfer of openings to Robot) when  I edited the boundary of the isolated slab from your Revit model so that they match the architectural size of the slab. In short there is something in the definition of the slab and openings in your Revit model but I'm not able to determine what it is therefore the only recommendation I may propose is to avoid defining openings that are adjacent to the analytical edge of the slab as shafts.

I found the reason for that as: supporting wall on the edge is defined on the axis in the analytical model. That zeros the floor margin between the analytic wall and the shaft. There occurs a hidden error where Revit usually warns with: "Boundary edge lines intersect each other.  Boundary contour must not be distorted." So edges of shaft and floor coincide at the same line resulting an erroneous transfer to robot. I think this must be addressed by development team to determine and prompt a warning message in such cases.
