Someone tried to export one of our projects to a gbXML format (I'm not entirely sure why, I'm trying to track that down, but I think it was an accident.) Now there are approximately 1000 warnings in our project "The room bounding element was not exported into a gmXML file." Is there anyway to clear out these warnings?

Turn on the Compute Room Volumes Tools->Room and Area Settings, make sure that the project ZIP is assigned under the Project Information/ Energy data, and that all of the rooms are Floor to Floor height, except for those that are directly under the roof object as they should extend beyond the highest roof apex.
Let me know if that works.

I have the same warning message for most of the walls. When I turned on the Compute Room Volumes option and re-export to gbXML it did remove the warning "Room's top face does not belong to any element. Is room height correct?" There is a PDF file on the GBS website that addresses the room volume issue (discussed in this thread http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=61351), but I have not found any references to the "The room bounding element was not exported into a gmXML file" warning about walls. Has anyone found a solution for this. Thanks.

Did you cycle through the warning messages in order to verify which walls did not get exported? They will be highlighted in orange as you go through those messages. Can you also post a screen capture of your building section with the room fill enabled?
