Room Tags - not Tagging correctly?

[conners_hey]

hi all,

i am trying to put a room tag in and it is reading the ceiling above. the ceiling panels are made as walls, but they are above the cut plane and the plane the room tag is reading. please help me!! something that should take two seconds is taking me forever and making me want to throw my computer out the window.

Make the ceiling panels that are made of walls "non-room defining". It's a Check Box in the wall properties.

thank you for the response. i did as you suggested and it is selecting the whole area, but now it comes up with the message
"Multiple Rooms are in the same enclosed region. The correct area and perimeter will be assigned to one Room and the others will display "Redundant Room." You should separate the regions, delete the extra Rooms, or move them into different regions."
and it will not let me put the room tag in.

a picture might help... but it sounds like you don't have any walls that pass through the cut plane in the "standard" sense of the word... if so you can use room boundary lines (from the Room and Area Design Bar tab) to define "rooms"

...making me want to throw my computer out the window...Resist the urge...it won't help :smile: Ever so brief feeling of joy, followed by deep regret...

I am kind of having an issue on this same topic. I have a some 'rooms' that are seperated by bulkheads above but I cant seem to get the bulkheads to act as room bounding even though I have that option checked in their properties. I would use the room seperator but it always shows up as a solid line and therefore covers up my overhead lines in plan for the bulkheads. Any ideas?

You could change the linestyle for your room separation line or just turn it off in the views affected.

[greg.mcdowell]

I think it depends on how the walls were placed... if they're not constrained to the floor below and don't have their base attached to the ceiling they might not act as room bounding... just a wag though.

Excellent - thank you. I could have sworn I looked in the Visibility / Graphics dialog several times and did not see <room seperator> under lines. Must just be one of those days.

My room tags are not showing correctly. Ex When I add a room tag, the no. starts with 1501, but when I compare it to the Arch. Revit file, the room tag starts with 1301. I'm using MEP 2008. What am I missing?
