View Full Version : Room Tags see Rooms on the Next Lower Level

There are a few rooms in my floor plan that when I try to place a room tag the room boundaries that highlight are for the walls that are down one floor. Why is it doing this?

I have gone into area settings and set the area definition level equal to my cut plane, I have also drawn room separation lines but it does not make a difference.

This problem does not happen in all of the rooms only in about 4 rooms of the 40 on the level.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

We are trying to publish drawings tomorrow afternoon.

Switch your underlay in view propeties to none and it won't pick up the wall's on the floor below.

My underlay was already set on none.

The work-around I used was to draw a box of room separation lines inside the room and place a room tag in this small area. I then select the room separation lines individually and nudge then towards the wall when the room tag suddenly jumps to a much larger area I nudge the line away from the wall. The room area reported is a little smaller than actual but I can actually get a value.

Most likely there are room-bounding elements not visible in your view. Please go to Room Tag tool and hit 'Show bounding elems' button in option bar.
Message will be posted with ids of room-bounding elements not visible in your view.
If this does not help, please post simplified model here or send it to Support for investigation.
Thanks.

Here is a zip file of the problem project. Look at rooms 114L & 112M.

My work around is no longer working when I get the room separation line about 4' from the wall it says it is a redundant room.

When I select show room bounding elements it identifies walls on the lower level that do not extend to this floor.

Thank you for the help.
