is there any way to generate a "poly-line" or something to see why a room tag cant calculate the area? i get a lot of "not enclosed" in this retail project of mine. there are a ton of in & outs, different glazing lines, walls vary in thickness from 6" to 24", so it is incredibly hard to find the problem. is there a simple solution? can i just enclose the areas with room seperation lines? but then they overlap with walls...please help Thank you!

Wait until version 9 comes out. From the literature I think this may be adressed as a visual aid.

My experience with room bounding problems has led me to offer the following tipsSadRevit 8.1) 1. Room bounding lines do not like to cross even by a little bit. This applies to walls that are room bounding as well. Make sure your walls are properly joined and do not cross. 2. If you use architectural columns, make sure the wall passes through the column and does not just stop at the column. Architectural columns do not define a room boundary. 3. Usually the room bounding will have a "leak". Place a color fill into one of your views then go to one of the offending rooms. Use a room separation line to split the room in half and see if either half closes. Do this by moving a tag around and watching the color fills behaviour. Once you have a half that closes, progressively move the room bounding line toward the unclosed half until you can start to isolate the problem. After doing this enough you will probably start to observe a pattern of behaviour that needs to be fixed on all the offending rooms. 4. If all else fails, fake it. Add your own room bounding lines on the inside of the perimeter walls of the room. Tom
