I have high clerestory windows under a slanted roof. It’s a one story building. When I open the revit model in the Model Editor, the lower windows show up appropriately but the higher windows don’t. All rooms are checked as “ground contact” and “top exposed.”
Do you have any tips for me to ensure that the high windows show up correctly?

Hi @alterleon,
If I have to guess without seeing your model, you haven’t set the height of the rooms to be tall enough to capture those windows. I assume you are using the extruded mode, which you should, and in that case, you should select these rooms and override the height to be tall enough to capture the clerestory windows.
Here is a short video using the Revit sample model.
P.S. Thank you for posting your two questions as two separate topics. Appreciate it!
Hi @mostapha, your tips were helpful and resolved the main problem = it saved me the time I would have spent manually adding them.
What I cannot figure out is how I could possibly add windows that are above an inset room. This is not a problem I need to solve (i added them manually), but I am sharing for awareness/learning purposes.
As you can see in the image, there is another 1st floor room that is shorter and takes up the space below the room to which the windows belong (also a 1st floor room). (as a reminder, the whole building is only one story).
Maybe this is a very unique situation for which there is not automated solution. Sharing in case it is helpful to you and curious to hear if you have any thoughts.
Hi @alterleon,
That’s a limitation of the current publicly available version. What happens is such cases the windows are removed when you run solve adjacency.
@chriswmackey has made several improvements that should address this issue. Can you share the raw Pollination model with those windows with us for testing to make sure we can handle this case in the upcoming version?
You can send it via a private message.
Hey @alterleon ,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The windows were supposed to come through automatically as long as you had the “Is Top Exposed” checked on the adjacent room.
It seems we accidentally removed this window preservation at some point with another change that was intended to prevent errors from being thrown. I just made a change that ensures the windows come through for this case and still prevents errors from being thrown in others where the adjacent room does not have the “Is Top Exposed” checked:
So this will be in the next release. Thanks again.
Oh how wonderful! thank you!
hi @chriswmackey and @mostapha,
I am gonna extend this conversation since I am experiencing another tricky situation where I have several clerestory windows within one room (called COURTS below).
I already checked “top exposed” and extended the height to and beyond the height of the building, but the windows still don’t show up.

(this is relatively easy to add in IES, but still wanted to chat about it.)
Hi @alterleon, hmm. This should not be happening. Do you see these windows in the Select Apertures/Doors 3D preview? Can we have access to this Revit model for debugging?
Hi @mostapha, yes I do see the windows in the aperture mode. Yes, I can send you the model in private chat.
