I have storefront systems with doors that are embedded into basic and/or stacked walls.  All of the doors show up in the door schedule.  the problem i am having, is that SOME of the embedded curtain wall doors do not recognize any of the rooms they lead into.

 

This is a huge problem becuase I have 4 buildings and the door schedule is broken out by building and then sorted by room.  I then have a handful of doors that have no room association.  It's driving me mad because some doors have a room and some dont.  I cannot find the common element amongst the ones that arent working.  Any ideas?  The file is too big to post.  Thanks.

Hey I just tried what you were describing, and the exact same thing happened to me. The only way I could get it to work was by going to my door schedule, and in the "To Room" column there is a drop down arrow. When you select it you should see the room association. Just click the room name and it should work. Im using Revit 2009 however, but hopefully the same thing works for you =)

Yes we have 2009 but havent converted this project because we are in CD and do not want to mess with a conversion so i must suffer through 2008.

 

Yes sometimes a doors associated "to room" is blank and you have to use th drop box to select it.  In my case, there is nothing to select from.  it is not recognizing the room boundary (in some cases).  In one instance, I have a storefront embedded in a a regular wall.  The storefront has 2 doors leading into 2 different rooms.  One of the doors is associated to its room but the other is blank and has no rooms to select from. It's one of those bizarre Revit things when it just doesnt work.  i cannot for the life of me find how the two doors are different.

 

Thanks

Hey, I couldnt figure out why it was doing that. I showed it to a Revit training course instructor aswell, and he had no idea why it was happening either. We couldnt seem to fix it, so I guess you'll just have to be stuck with the schedule being like that. By the way nice model. Very impressive =)

This is a long standing bug...

Its amazing something so important hasn't been resolved as yet.  I've had the issue before on numerous projects.  What we've usually ended up doing was to input text on the sheet where the blank fields are...  Which can sometimes be really annoying when new doors are added and you have to amend the text placement manually.  Other option is to resort to a text parameter instead of the automated one.

Mr Spot - hows things down under?

 

Thanks for the response.  I would accept it if NONE of the doors read the rooms - ok we are on to something here.  But it seems to be random.  2 of the doors actually read a room that is on the other side of the building!! I kicked this up to Autodesk as i told my reseller tech support I refuse to accept a "workaround"  Rather than making it fit, Autodesk needs to find the cause so that we dont repeat that cause again.

 

I am going to recreate the walls with using copy, mirror, flip, rotate, etc.  Place them with on their own and see how that goes - then add the walls.  THEN I will try a workaround!! I was thinking of your idea as well - I might be able to create a field for the schedule that will read the to/from room if it exists else read the text field.     

 

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.  I also used your array tutorial yesterday to create a sun screen - I couldnt get the element to rotate then I found the tutorial - thanks.
