Can't place room tag

[emmanuelbee]

I'm trying to place a room tag but i keep getting the usual 'None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Proposed Ground Floor Plan- GA View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings. 

I've checked visibility Graphics, Rooms are not hidden, all my other room tags are visible so I don't know why its giving me this error message for this specific room

Which room are we talking about here?

it won't delete from a schedule? 

[emmanuelbee]

strange thing is the room doesn't exist in schedules I deleted in schedules and tried to create another room but it didn't work

[emmanuelbee]

i had a linked structural revit model which i had to amend to suit changes that i made to the building i don't know if that has something to do with it as well because the original model of this building works fine

@emmanuelbee - Make sure that your room schedule includes elements in links.....that should allow you to see the room

Also do check out the suggestions offered in this thread - controlling the visibility of rooms from the link, as suggested by @dzanta, may be helpful.

I've checked out that other thread, my linked model is just a structural model with columns and beams, so there are no rooms, is there a way that i could upload my project to this site?, I've tried it before but it doesn't seem to work.

See attached files.., the area that is not filled in the section is the area that I'm trying to place a room and tag, I have highlighted it on the floor plan as well

[ToanDN]

Can you tag the room in the section? If so, check the room workset and make sure it is not closed for the plan view.

[emmanuelbee]

I just tried it, yes I can tag in the section, but its still not showing up in the plan view, all the tags are on the same workset and they are all showing apart from that one particular room

I am asking about the workset of the room, not the tag.  Select the room in section and see what workset it belongs to.

[emmanuelbee]

It belongs to the same workset as all the others 'Workset 1'

[ToanDN]

Can you go to Room & Area drop-down > Area and Volume Computations, and enable Volume computation?  If that still a no-go then you may need to share the Revit file.

I have had this happen when I have a non-structural floor (ie. thin carpet) drawn on top of the structural slab and the room gets trapped between the 2 somehow. Just make sure, if you have that, to un-check 'Room Bounding' for the non-structural the floor finish.

Its 2020 and i've had the same problem which non of the suggestions worked. But I solved it in the end!

I went to 3D mode, turned it upside down and deleted the room separation lines that were showing (which i couldn't see in any other view!).

We had a similar issue today in Revit 2022. Room could be highlighted and tagged correctly in section and elevation, but would not highlight or tag in any plan. There were storefront objects as "islands" in the room, i.e., not separating the entire room. Changed those to non Room Bounding and the room tags in plan correctly now.

Just happened on one project. Haven't been able to recreate it. Very strange.
