I have two adjacent rooms that require interlocking volumes which have furn. to schedule in each (see diagram). Revit is not understanding how to do this and fails to recognize the rooms that thse objects are located in and thus fails to schedule them properly. I'm not sure how else to approach this and would appreciate some guidence on how to solve this. Thanks.

Your problem is probably the family. Th family has to completely reside in the host room to be scheduled there. That includes all elements, linework and INVISIBLE LINES! Too many people use invisible lines as locating tools. BAD PRACTICE.

That's a good point. There is one piece that we have that this could be a problem for. But the other problem is that the room A in the diagram will not show the portion that interlocks in plan despite the bounding objects. Given my view depth I would think that this would display correctly as well.

I just noticed that for the horizontal seperation, you indicate the floor - room bounding. Floors do nt room bound vertically. Maybe that is your problem?
There should be no reason why these rooms don't function correctly if bounded correctly.

I remodeled the family and it still doesnt work. There are no invisible lines and the origin should more than fall within the room that it should schedule in. Revit will not give any values for it all. Also, the rooms will not take the shape that I need, which appears to be critical for getting this to work. How can I get the shapes of the rooms that I need? Can Revit do this? Thanks.

Works fine here...
Remember - rooms are vertical. If any part of you furnishings is below that room bounding floor (or ceiling) - it will not be in the room either.

I turned on volume computations and Revit got it have right and half wrong. I'm really at a loss. Everything is bounding correctly but not producing the right results. Ceiling is bounding, walls are bound and the little floor for this bench is bounding and producing the correct volume in only one of the two rooms.

One caveat to this issue: all of these elements are in a design option: the rooms, the walls, and the furniture. Would this affect it? Thanks again.

Sure wish you had posted this earlier!
I have never seen any room step out vertically. In other words they will not get larger as they go up. Only smaller.
Sorry

Say it ain't so! How could it not do both? Doesn't it simply flood a space to every bounding object? If for sure no: do you have a suggestion for how to have the furniture orgin extend to be within that space? I tried modeling the family where the reference plane origin was set set to be within that space. But, alas, no luck still. Thanks.

I would probably put an invisible furn family in the room for scheduling purposed and filter the real one out.

I'll give that a try. Thanks so much for your help!

have you checked to be sure that the furniture is on the correct level? (take a section to check). Also in that section, enable the visibibilty of the room boundary to make sure both go all the way to the floor. If that doesn;t work, explain to us what the schedule looks like; does it list the missing piece of furniture at all?
