I read a really interesting thread on the adesk forums not long ago about the challenges of assigning cubicles as rooms within revit, as they don't have walls, per se, but, would be counted as their own spaces with FM Desktop or other CAFM programs.
Those who replied gave options on what could be done, and there was a fabulous document posted about Revit Rooms and how they work with Autodesk FMDesktop.
Enjoy!
Hello, trying to find the thread above, do you have a link for it?
Thnx
I don't know why that thread link doesn't work anymore and you can't search a specific date on that forum, darn. That document won't really be helpful with FMDesktop being killed off, though.Quote:

If anyone has any better methods with more automation, I'd love to hear them. I've only got a couple clients with Revit, so it's not something that has come up for me often.
Google to the rescue:

They do also make a good point, that you could create a cubicle family that has room bounding objects within it. But, if you're anything like most Facilities teams, you're lucky to get any electronic data and don't have that much say over how the individual elements are created, so fixing it afterward is the more likely scenario.
