Room Boundary

Anonymous
Not applicable

HI guys,
I’ve run into something I’m not sure how to fix and I’m hoping someone on here knows how to fix it. I have one room in my revit model that every time I go to name it, the room is two separate boundaries. I attached a video to better demonstrate what I’m talking about.
Thanks,
Cory

Is there a (invisible) room separation line between the two rooms by any chance? Delete, if you can find it.

 

When all else fails, delete the room, and re-room. Don't forget to go into the room schedule (if you don't have one, make one) and delete all the rooms that show up as being "not Placed"

I did what you mentioned and still, same problem. It's a room within the roof (1/2 story). Could the roof by chance be messing it up? If so, how? I've also deleted the room and redrawn it and still, not working.

Interesting that deleting the room separation line didn't do it for you. Did you get an error message? You normally would when doing this. Do you have Project Warnings associated with these rooms?

Can you share the file? That is, if it is not proprietary?

Okay, so after I delete the main roof that eats into the room I'm trying to tag, it works just fine. I've used a dormer cut to cut the main roof out of the room, this seems to be what's messing it up, do you know a way around this?

Thank you for your help!

Well, I found a solution after endlessly "playing" with certain cut options. I had to delete the dormer cut and cut the main roof away with the "by face" option under "openings" on the ribbon. This works and now I can tag the whole room. Not sure why, when usually a dormer cut works, but thank you for your help! I guess Revit is being funny today, hah!

The only thing the dormer is going to do is add Volume to your room. If you don't want to include Volume; change the rules; compute by Area only. But, this doesn't really apply to what your underlying problem is -- or does it?

It mush have something to do with Room Calculation Height for that Room.  Can you cut a section across the Room to thru the Roof and Dormer and post the screenshot?
