Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Suddenly selecting one room highlights the whole floor plan including the foundation. Pressing Tab will select the chosen room. I never had that before. How do I get back to "normal"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sounds like you lost room definition somewhere. check your wall connections and make sure you do not have "no room definition" checked in any of those walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sounds to me more like you have something overlaid on the entire building. Select it and see what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you initially seeing only the outside of the perimeter of the building hi-lighted, or are you seeing the whole floor plan hi-lighted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I used to select one single room and that room would be highlighted. Now with the same selection the whole building is highlighted. Then I can select that room with one Tab click. Extra step but unusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have not yet applied Perry and Copsaw's suggestion. I will give it a try though in a few mn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The exterior room (as Glenn was suggesting) when selected will look like this but it is often difficult to select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Even when selecting exterior room, the whole building is selected. At your suggestion I checked for something above the building with no results. I'll post the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I downloaded 7-Zip and was surprised it was only 2kb size. I'll do it again. Thanks for checking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Humm... It seems to be functioning fine for me. I assume you saved the file in the state that you were having the issue. Sometime I get a roof plane rather than a room but nothing that covers the entire structure. Could you post a screen shot perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Chopsaw, this is what I get when I select a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Generally, that would tell me that there's a bad wall connection or wall definition somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 See if you can select any room independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 When you get the entire floor, check the Object Layers. I suspect you have a Polyline (maybe filled) that is being selected. If that's the case you can either delete, lock or move to back. I noticed that there is a polyline that encompasses several rooms - can be selected when all layers are on.

HumbleChief Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Works fine on my system as well. What you're showing is the 'Make Room (Molding) Polyline' selection by selecting just outside of the wall(s) area. Again rooms select just fine when I open the plan.

Ok that is what I suspected you were describing but like Joe I am unable to produce those results with your posted file even with the all on layerset.

HumbleChief Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Then plan you posted (or at least the plan I downloaded) is not the plan you're showing in the post (pic) above. You're pic shows a small room off the laundry room and family room. The plan I downloaded does not. Also your original post states that everything is selected including the foundation but the plan you posted has no foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
