I am a 14 year Revit user and can usually figure out issue on my own.  This one has me stumped.  I don't recall making any changes but all of a sudden, five rooms in my project had the room boundary change from the perimeter of the room to two small rectangles around two windows.  The attached picture show the two areas in red.  How can I redefine the boundary of the room to be the perimeter of the room?  I am using Revit 2020.

So are you only using room boundry lines instead of room bounding elements?

If so, then turn off everything excpt room boundry lines and make sure what you really have.

I see no reson for these to move unless they were anchored to something else that moved.

I'm not sure the difference.  These were originally created using the "Room" commend.  When I originally placed it, it set the boundary as the perimeter of the room, as it should.  When I go into the Room commend again, as if I were trying to define a room, you can see below that it thinks the room is the two small rectangles by the windows.  Not sure if that's what you were asking me.  Thanks!!

GOT IT!!  I figured out we had a floor on top of a floor for the Floor Finish Drawing.  When I highlighted the top flooring, I had to uncheck the Room Bounding box in Properties.  Thanks for all of the Replies!
