Revit 2014 LT

I am having a very frustrating episode with the bounding of rooms on the FFL & beyond.

It seems that Revit is not recognising the room boundaries of the particular level I’m working on so I cannot attain the areas of the rooms etc. (I have attached an image to show you what I mean)

This also coincides with when working on a particular level, the objects or walls still are set to NGL as the base, rather than the current level (which I’m sure is usually the case)

I have gone through several forums without success so would appreciate any thoughts on this. 

Cheers

Further to this, It seems there is a mjor problem with the levels? 

As I can't even insert a door onto anything other thean the Ground Floor Level... Very strange as, although I am still relativley new to Revit, I have worked up a few projects now and never had these issues? Maybe my initial set up was wrong but I am hoping I dont have to restart a new drawing to fix this..

Any help would be mch appreciated.

This is probably all process error.  You have given us very little information but from that:

• Your rooms do indeed look strange since they overlap walls and don't go to other walls.
• Rooms are bounded by room bounding elements like walls, floors, doors, ceilings - but the elements have to have room bounding turned on.  In addition, you have room boundry lines.  What did you use?
• I believe you probably did not create your plans correctly.  Typicall, you create levels and you create floor plans that are associated with the level.  To create floor plans, you start with the view - floor plan and you pick the level.  You don't just copy a plan and change the view range.

You need to find some tutorials and blooks.

Cheers, I have since found out that is exactly what happened, I created floor plans for duplicating rather than, right clicking the level on elevation/section and creating a floor plan.
