Room Name and Room Number parameter values for Spaces

[sobon.konrad]

I ran into this weird behavior where if I expand a Revit MEP model into memory using:

mepDoc = activeDoc.Application.OpenDocumentFile(modelPath, openOptions);

and then try to query its Spaces for corresponding room properties like so: 

foreach(Space s in allSpaces)
            {
                string sName = s.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SPACE_ASSOC_ROOM_NAME).AsString();
                string sNumber = s.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SPACE_ASSOC_ROOM_NUMBER).AsString();

it will always return "Unoccupied" for both values. However, when I query model elements using Revit Lookup Tool i am clearly seeing a proper room name and number displayed there. 

Is there a limitation to using OpenDocumentFile() method that prevents this type of query? Does anyone has better idea for doing this?

Thank you,

Konrad

Could it be it has something to do with phases ? I had an issue once with windows not reporting the FromRoom parameter and it turned out I was search in the wrong phase. Maybe this is the case here.

Hi,

what about doc.GetRoomAtPoint(space.Location) ?

Revitalizer,

I saw your previous post on a similar issue. Yes, that's what i used in the meantime, but i wanted to raise the issue here for the Dev team. It would be nice if they could enable this feature (if that's even the issue). Thank you for the suggestion.

Remy,

Phases are not an issue here. Thank you for the suggestion though.

Hi Konrad,

yes, it's better to report it to the Autodesk people than just live with a bug.

On the other side, it may be that you wait for years before a bug has been fixed.

By the way, I'm just diving into Dynamo, and I really like your contributions.

Thank you this way.

Dear Konrad, would you please upload a simple rvt file for me to try? I did a test by myself and could not reproduce it.

Here are the two files that I was briefly testing this on.

Dear, did you try following built in parameters?

ROOM_NAME
ROOM_NUMBER

I can get name and number correctly.

they are different from:
Room Number | SPACE_ASSOC_ROOM_NUMBER
Room Name | SPACE_ASSOC_ROOM_NAME

Aaron,

I wanted to get the Space's Associated Room Name and Number. What you are suggesting would give me a Name and Number of the Space itself. I didn't want that. 

Can you please log this is a bug, if indeed you can confirm that for some unexplained reason those two return invalid values? 

Thank you!

ok. But look at UI, I see "Unoccupied" too, what should we get a different value from UI?

There are some extra rooms that are not placed and those will return Unoccupied. I was referring to the ones that are properly placed and bounded, yet still return Null or Unoccupied. Can you see that?

Dear konrad,

the problem does not appear in Revit 2015 and 2016, if you are using thoese versions, the problem should be got fixed.
