Okay, here's a problem that's driving me up the wall.  It's easy to do on a tuesday though...

Starting only yesterday, I can't move the majority of my walls in my workshared project without getting a warning that goes like this:   "Room computations only succeeded without considering the following elements."

Even tweaking a little boring dividing wall between two boxy offices will create this error.  It doesn't have to be a wall adjoining a corridor, defined with room separation lines--nothing complex, no.  All walls on this floor create errors. 

Worksets aren't checked out, I am the only borrower of all elements in the vicinity.  My coworkers claim to have done nothing related to rooms or areas or walls, but, you know.  I don't believe in magic, I know something was done that needs to be undone. 

Any ideas?  Practically every action i take interupts my work, and my pandora with a *beep*.  I'm on the verge of cleansing the all the rooms with fire.

Goto you room and area menu - dropdown - Area and Volume computations and set volumes to areas only.  Set it back when you need the volumes too.

Dang, that got my hopes up!  Sadly, it's already set to Area Only. 

So this is weird-- the room computations ARE only using these walls, but the error directly contradicts that.  I move a wall, the areas change, and then it tells me the wall I moved was just ignored for calculations.  I've checked to make sure nobody delineated all the rooms with room boundary lines or something crazy like that, and I've checked my room schedules for redundant or nonenclosed rooms and none exist...

For fun and edification, roll back a copy to a known working point in time, then perform the same action to see if it produces warning.  I'm really curious, because I've NEVER seen that warning (not that I've seen everything, but I've been around the block a few times!).  Have you pushed it onto Autodesk (via subscription, or your reseller)?  Try the old CAD solution, Copy everything and paste in a new file...  Try deleteing a room, then putting a new one there, does this solve the warning for that room?

I found it.  Groups containing in-place familes in the wall category that were checked as room bounding.  Corner column-wrapping instances, hard to explain. 

How they affected the rest of the model is a mystery, but it's fixed for the time being.  thanks.
