Hi,

I'm experiencing very strange problem. I'm trying to create rooms for the townhome I'm working on. as you see in the screenshot below, It pick very random boundaries are not related to anything. In the other hand it ignores the real and obvious boundaries for the room. no hidden objects.

Maybe it is picking boundaries from bellow or above, check your view range

Maybe a soffit or other ceiling obstruction in that hallway? Place a section view and see what is going on. I suspect that bedroom wall is not room-bounding.

Change the room heights, so it doesn't reach the ceiling or other possible obstruction. Like HVAC-Novice mentioned, if it is a ceiling boundary, select the element and uncheck Room Bounding, and check the wall.

I tried that as well. It didn't work. Is there a way to raise this issue to Autodesk support team?

The problem is that when I try to create a room it does not recognize the current walls as boundaries. on the other hand, it reads some random boundaries that don't exist!

Any design options? Those issues often look exactly like that.

You can use Dynamo or RevitLookup to check which elements are creating the boundaries of your room.
For RevitLookup : Select the room -> Snoop Selection -> GetBoundarySegments -> List<BoundarySegment>
For each line check the ElementId and right-clic "Show Element" to highlight it in your model and use BX shortcut to look at it in 3D  :
