Apertures and doors are not assigned to rooms after updating the Revit plugin to Jan 2025

I used the export mode of the Revit pollination plugin to preview my model. It largely worked and I exported it. Then, I received the notice that I need to upgrade the Revit plugin to work with it in the new model editor.

This is where the confusion began. After I installed the new plugin into Revit, I have not been able to see the apertures and doors associated with the rooms in Step 6 of the export workflow anymore. All apertures and doors read 0.

Doors and apertures always show up correctly in their own section (Step 2 & 3), but they will not transfer into the associated room (Step 6).

I tried to select them via the Aperture/Door feature and then run the export feature, but it didn’t make a difference. I am pretty certain that I didn’t do anything differently compared with my previous workflow.

Is there any new setting I am missing?

Step 6 of export where no windows or doors are associated with rooms after updating the Revit Plugin:

Step 2 of export mode where all windows show up correctly on their own (even though they don’t show up in Step 6

Hi @alterleon,

We have changed/improved the process for selecting apertures. You have to changed their status from “Ready to Review” to “Export”. See this announcement for more information

Also, you probably don’t want to select the solid panels as windows. You’re currently selecting all of them in your screenshot.

I missed this too. I thought I was going crazy. Thanks for clarifying.

thank you so much! I did miss (or not understand the importance of) the new update.

I keep dreaming about some interactive graphic for the workflow… just a dream because I like visual representations :slight_smile:

I’ll be happy to create one! Do you have an example for other software? How does this look like? We have graphics like this, but I think I only used it in one of the announcement posts.

hi @mostapha ~ i like this visual! i’d like to be able to click on the individual sections and be able to navigate to the detailed documentation. For arpertures/doors, i’d love to see clearly that I need to select “export” instead of “ready to review.” For the model editing process, i’d like to see a wheel of steps integrated into your visual that you present all the parts that you show in your youtube videos (maybe even links to the youtube videos). I have done the Model Editor Editing process a few times by now, but I still need to reference my notes and your videos to make sure I follow every step - because every step is relevant.

i started developing a Figma map for myself (which is currently not round but chopped into separate modules. Maybe this helps you understand the detail at which I create reminders/documentation for myself.
