Ravit Layouts to closed rooms

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 09:55:25 GMT

Hello,

some of the rooms in my model are defined as layout and in the roomlist are not enclosed, so they have no area. Is there any way to convert them to enclosed rooms?

Thanks in advanced.

Make the walls "Room Bounding" and/or use "Room Separation Lines"

Thanks for your response.

The walls are "room bounding", but the rooms are not placed!!!

All of the room informations are in revit, and because I have more than 80 floors and 1000 rooms, it's not meaningful to define them again.

You can see the attachments, in which I showed the roomlist and the rooms with red boundries, which are not enclosed.

Hi
Just an example
If you have a unit/ typical layout, with only internal walls and no external walls then you may use room bounding lines in the group on external wall locations ..
2. Also remember rooms once placed in Revit and deleted in views... don’t get deleted in schedule ( they appear as not placed etc ) you may delete all the rooms which are not placed once you are done with placing rooms and tagging them

Rooms need boundary to be enclosed. You will have to add walls for the projects sooner or later then why don't you add them now? If not, you will have to add Room separation lines. If you already have the layout of the building (CAD?) then it is very quick to add them using Pick Lines tool.
