When you add a room to a plan view, the project stores information about the room. This can include information that you add using room properties, such as the room name, surface finishes, occupancy, and so on. (See Room Instance Properties.) You can see information about rooms in a room schedule. If you want to retain information about a room but remove it from its current location in the building model, unplace the room as follows.
To unplace a room
- Open a plan view or a section view that displays the room.
- Select the room.
Check the status bar to be sure that you are selecting the room and not the room tag. The status bar displays the following:
Rooms: Room: <room name>
- Delete the room from the plan view, using any of the following methods:
- Press Delete or Ctrl+X.
- Right-click the room, and click Delete.
- Click Modify | Rooms tab
Modify panel
(Delete).
The room is removed from its location in the building model. However, the project still contains the information about the room. In a room schedule, the room is listed as Not Placed. If desired, you can place the room in another location. See Placing an Unplaced Room.
