It would be great to be able to view rooms and spaces in 3D views, and assign color schemes to the views. This would assist with pinning down bounding issues, as well as allowing us to create things like stacked isometrics to convey how a building functions.
Hello, no idea whether I wrote that the room entity still does not show. Well, it does not. @ankofl 's brilliant tool just picks the room entities and generates proxy geometry to show in 3d. Users still have no way of knowing whether the room that is misbehaving is due to a problem with the addin or the actual room as seen fit by Revit is wrong.
@ankofl Have you never experienced rooms bleeding into one another for no apparent reason? Or because someone had made, erased or altered room separation lines? Or that there were gaps in bounding entities not visible at a first glance (depending on size and zoom, of course)? The script provided makes new geometry based on what it can gather from whatever proto-geometry is provided by the api. This idea asks for the actual dynamic room entity to be displayed in 3D. Maybe my wording is misleading, because, of course, rooms behave exactly in the way they were programmed to - only that the nature of that behaviour is not always obvious.
Aah, I thinkIunderstandwhatyou mean.Youwouldlikethatifthere are variousanomalies(for example,crossing the room), the proxygeometryshouldhave the appropriateerrorcolor.
I thinkifthis is somethingthatyou will needtoform a morespecific definition of the finalgeometry,dependingontheanomaly that occurs,I will try to bringitintomyfreetime.
Is it somehow possible to extend the code in case, when I have a roof at an angle, that the room is also showing the angle at the top? This happens quite often and would be awesome to have this feature..
Another question: Would it be possible to assign the rooms with the same Room Category the same color? I need this very often to check if i assigned anywhere a wrong category
Hi @maja_bojanic I don'tquiteunderstandwhatyou're talking about. Do youmeanthat the part of the spaceconcerning the roof is notdisplayed?Inthiscase, are yousurethat the upperboundary of the spacereachesto the top of the roof?
You could send me this .rvt-file so that I can check the execution of the code through the debugger?
I sometimes had a similar problem with the sloping roof, and... If this is the case in your case, then it cannot be solved, because the error occurs somewhere in the depths of the Revit core, perhaps even in the C++ code, and I dont have the opportunity to fix it.
In any case, to find out for sure, I need the rvt-file of your project, and preferably the Revit ID of the room with which the error occurs.
Thanks!
P.S: Itried to reply to you @maja_bojanicin a personalmessage,but I can'tsend it,becauseIallegedlyexceeded the limit of personalmessages: although I haven'tsentasinglepersonalmessage for atleastseveralmonths,as seen inthescreenshotbelow...
Pathetic that nothing has been moving on this, it's so annoying to fix rooms with only sections, plans and elevations. It's not like there' s any good reason for this not to be implemented, the effort would be very low.
If an elevation is cutting through a room or elements, it's not so different than a section.
--
The same way we always have, you put one or more section, show the rooms explicitly and then move your section around a bunch in plan.
I find that making a view template for rooms helps:
Everything transparent, including walls. Hide most things except room bounding elements (Walls, floors, roofs, etc) Room separation lines are super thick and dashed orange.
Then also monitor room elevations in a scheudle.
It's stupid, it's painful, it's tedious, but it's what we have to do until Revit can show us rooms in 3D...
@ankofl This thread is not about solutions provided by users but currently states that 837 users are waiting for this to be implemented by Autodesk. Your own solution is brilliant and works fine. Thanks again for it. Still it also needs to rely on whatever Autodesk cares to provide as API access to room entities and generates extra geometry. The actual rooms remain invisible.
@MiWolff Mymistake) I thoughtyouneeded a solution to the problemrightnow)
From theexperience of othervotes- to be honest, I don'trememberthatatleastoneofthemwasimplementedinRevit,Idon'tunderstand at all why thisvotingfunctionality is neededifnothingthatusersvote for appearsinRevit.
