Common messages
| Message | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| “Please define rooms first.” | There are no valid rooms in the project (or in your selection). | Place rooms, or select rooms in Revit and load again. |
| “Please select Rooms!” | You chose Selected but nothing is selected. | Select rooms first, then click again. |
| “Please create at least one Floor View” | Rubia needs a floor plan view in the project. | Create a floor plan view. |
| “No floor is selected.” | No build-up is assigned to the room. | Pick a type in the room list. |
| “Created Failed. No Geometry.” | No valid outline could be built from the room boundary. | Check the room for boundary issues (e.g. an open room boundary). |
| “room has no level” | The room isn't associated with a level. | Check the room in Revit and re-place it if needed. |
| “<type changed>” | The type of a created element was changed in Revit. | Re-assign the type in Rubia or accept the change. |
| “The types … have been deleted.” | A build-up type in use no longer exists. | Check your finishing structures and re-assign affected rooms. |
| “Not in the workset” | The room can't currently be edited due to worksharing. | Borrow the element and apply again. |
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit created floors by hand in Revit?
Yes. Rubia detects the change and sets the status to “Manually modified”. Next time you apply, you decide whether your change stays or Rubia re-creates the element.
What happens when I move a room?
The status changes to “Update necessary”. An update command in the Revit ribbon, e.g. All Floors and Ceilings, adjusts the profiles.
Can I take my finishing structures to other projects?
Yes, via Export and Import. Details are in Creating and managing finishing structures.
How do I find a room from the list in the model?
Select the room and click Show in Model.
