One sort of follow up/caveat on this- a method would be needed to clarify which room, from which model.
There are two common scenarios I see
- Core and Shell is a separate model from Interior Fit out, and both models have rooms in them. Resolving that is not as simple as not showing the rooms from one or the other. First of all, not displaying them is not the same as them not being there - we could hide all rooms from one model in a view, or view template, but they might show in another view. And, it would be great if I could rely on the entire industry to put all rooms on their own workset - but I can't.
One reasonably frequent iteration of this is that we need to show and tag rooms or spaces in the core - elevator lobbies, restrooms, etc. But the whole tenant area has a big "room" named something like "Tenant Space."
I'm afraid that I don't have a simple solution to offer for this - there are so many possible, legitimate variants on what the other consultants on a project might do....
- The other reason is, sad to say, sloppy modeling. I see way to many models with strange extraneous rooms. In at least some cases, I believe, someone at the architectural or interiors end has deleted a room tag in their drawings, unaware that the room object is staying behind. The obvious suggestion here is better modelling - but if my devices are reporting what room they are in, at least sometimes, they will come back with "Multiple"
