Room object not deleting and staying in schedule

[Pshupe]

Is there a good reason why when you delete a room object that it still stays in the Room schedule but says "not placed".  Please advise.

That is by design to retain the information of the deleted Rooms so that you can easily add them to new Rooms.  It is a good thing IMHO.  If you want to wipe the rooms off, delete them from a schedule.

Useful when you need to move a room(s) to another floor in the building. Also when it is necessary to do some redesign but the program elements aren't changing drastically, just getting reconfigured. I don't want to have to recreate all the rooms and their data over again.

We can also create rooms (spaces/areas) before any building exists in the model to place them in. That allows for building the program as the model gets started.

Thank you.  I did not think of that.  It makes sense.

Select the rows on the schedule and delete.

You right click on the row and then select delete from the menu. You can't
just highlight and use the delete key.

Wouldnt it be nice to offer the user the option delete it completely?  when you absolutely know you dont want it.... either by direct command... right click delete permanently... or when the error comes up when object was deleted.. and say, "would you like to permanently delete room object?"

makes sense to me... now i have to go figure out which closet, from dozens, that i want to delete.

extra work. extra clicks. wasting time.

I don't think keeping the room on the schedule is such a good idea. It creates an additional task to clean the schedule before using it. Especially when you have a template and you want to fill the schedule with the room you are placing and not from previous projects.

Such a bad idea.

Maybe your template shouldn't have a bunch of unplaced rooms in it? Put in the work one time to clean it up, then you won't have to do it every single time. That's how Revit works. Set things up right from the start and it will save you loads of time in the future.

um, no. Did you even read the OP? Thanks for your preaching but your in the wrong forum thread.

The person I am replying to literally said a reason they want rooms to be deleted is so they don't have to clean out rooms from their template whenever they start a new project. But okay.

But in regards to giving the option to delete when deleting from plan view, this would be nice for those who know what they're doing, but it would be a nightmare with less Revit savvy users who are constantly deleting rooms that shouldn't be deleted.
