for the life of me i can't figure this one out. ive been using revit for a few years and this is a new one (using 2011).  

i had a building file which ive been using .   

i deleted a group of walls and the rooms and their tags.

i copied the walls from another file and then went to add new room and tags and it keeps coming up "not enclosed"

i made 4 new walls and tried to add a room and no luck. i tried using room seperation lines to create a room, and still no luck.

room bounding is checked on all walls, so that wasnt it. the walls are form floor to ceiling, so that wasnt it

i can add rooms on another floor, but this view wont allow me to do it.

i'm stumped. please help

I do not know if these are your problem, but this is what I would check if I were running into that.

1. Cut a section through a wall and make sure it goes down to the level that the plan you are working on is based on.
2. Make sure your view extents are correct for your plan...make sure you are not looking down at the wall or have a view extent that ends above your level.
3. Then when you go to place the room make sure it is trying to place them on the same level.  I have not used RAC in a while, so I am not sure if this is an option you have when placing a room.
4. I don't think there is a way to make wall not room defining, but I would also check your wall properties and see if there is a togle in there that makes them not room defining or something similar.
