I am a Lighting Consultant, we get Revit models from our Architect clients that occasionally have a room that does not have completed room boundaries. The lighting calculation add-in we use needs the room boundaries to be complete & closed to define the room.
I can go on in more detail if needed, but the basic question I have is...
Does anyone know of a method to find where those room boundary gaps are. For our purposes it would be ideal if the Arch model was correct, but sometimes we just need to insert a room/space separation line to run the calcs. But finding those gaps can be tedious.

Normally I would turn on Room interior fill and reference to see what room is causing your issue. Then you can easily fill in the gaps or tell the Architect to adding in room boundary in their model so you won't into issue in the future.
Thanks for the reply. Generally finding the problem room is not the main issue, it's locating where to put the Separation Line that is a bit of a trial & error process.
But I agree, getting the issue corrected in the main model is best.
I would tell the Architect to use Curtainwall with empty panel as room boundaries instead of room separation line. Reason is room separation line will join with the closest wall and cause the wall joint to go haywire. Using curtainwall with empty panel, this allows Architect to have curtainwall disallow joint at the end and it will control the room object more successfully.
so are you looking for areas that are not fully enclosed?
If you enable the Route Analysis and Tools there is an option to "Reveal Obstacles". it will highlight all items that would be an obstacle for the Path of Travel. With that on, and your Space fills on, you should be able to see spaces that are not fully enclosed and where the gaps are.

That's a feature (Reveal Obstacles) that I would not generally have reason to use, and was not aware of...but it definitely provides the information I would need! Thank you!
That actually worked..... LOL
I find a lot of them you just have to think of the tool as to what it dose, not what its intended to do and you can find all sorts of uses for things. Of course half the battle is knowing the tool is there too :-).
