Revit 2012 can you Delete Unused Room Names & Department Names

[billy007nh]

We are in the need of trying to delete some room names that SOME people have typed in and some Departments names as well. That way these people will use the STANDARD ones that we have in our template and I will start removing keys from there keyboard to get them to use these standard room names. I do not see how to purge them or remove them from the pulldown list once they are typed in?

Thanks

Create a Room Schedule (or navigate to the room schedule you have already created). Highlight the rooms that you don't want in your project, and select "Delete" from the ribbon. I keep a "Working" room schedule in our template (and in turn our projects) for this, and other purposes.

That does not get rid of that name in the overall Project. I still see in the room or department list when I go and to label a new room or department that messed up name. I do not want to see it as a option the next time I go a label a room.

Then you aren't doing what the responder suggested, when you delete the Room from you schedule it will be gone. When you delete it from a plan, it just "returns to the schedule" to wait. Maybe you have some filter or sorting on in your schedule or phase that is preventing you from seeing every instance.

It is not that i am not doing what they suggested it is you are not getting my problem. After deleting the Room in the schedule that room DOES NOT get deleted in the Project. So next time I go to put in a room and go into the Properties palette under (Identity Data) parameter called Name: still has in that pull down every Room that someone typed even if that room does not existing in the schedule or the project at all.

Hope that helps clear up my question.

Check your schedule again, do you have the check box checked for itemize every instance. It would not show up in your pulldown list if it is NOT in the schedule somewhere. These things can be annoying, but its in their somewhere. Do you have any filters on your room schedule?

[billy007nh]

the short answer is yes to all that. I have even deleted EVERY room in the ENTIRE project just to see if my Rooms will start over as none to pick from and that doesn't work. So if I have No rooms in my project I still see 50 room names in the pull down to choose from.

One more thing to check in your room schedule is the "Filter Not Placed & Unenclosed Items" options at the top of your screen. Make sure it's not set to "Hide", otherwise you won't see rooms that you've deleted from the plan but not from a schedule.

[billy007nh]

So if there are NO ROOMS in the PROJECT what difference does it make what the schedule setting are at. So lets say its not the schedule any other ideas?

Do you have a key schedule for rooms in your project? Even if there aren't any rooms in the project, if you have the Name and Department parameters filled in a key schedule, they will show up as options when making a new room.
