Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I tryied to use fucnction RoomToSpace for the first time. But there is no manual for it. How to use ? Do you have to copy rooms to your own model and create spaces before use this function ? Or You have to create just spaces and function will suck data from rooms from linked model ? Or does function do all above mentioned on its own ?

do I have to have selected Rooms before application of functions ? or do i have to have selected spaces ? or do i have to have selected both - spaces + rooms before application function ?

ot of questions arise when the error window occurs and user sipmly is not sure if he did not use the proper way

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. no matter the questions above, i tried to copy rooms from linked model to my model and ad afterwards i created the spaces (only on one level from more leveled model-building).
2. I clicked RoomToSpace function
3. error occured

Expected behavior room data from rooms would be copied to spaces

Hello, tested on Revit 2024.
I opened RoomToSpace function window. I did set source attached model, set my target model where i have "new" spaces. I did set parameters to copy from rooms of source model to spaces onto my target model . ..i clicked OK. nothing happened :( I wish this would be repaired

This function would require some better explanations… You actually need to use actual parameter names in your own language. It still require more polish but I confirm it works on Revit 2024.

Dear Cyril. Thank You for the response and interest to solve this. I confirm, that on my version (actual updated version of 2024.3) nothing happened . I think last time i tested it on my home destkop. Now i am testing in office desktop... generalry i may test it on 6 different desktop workstations in case needed. Nothing happens after i clicked on OK after inputs set according the window below. I am not sure what are you talking about regarding "parameter names in my own language". I generally always use english installation of revit and also the ENG language, setting before starting.
So How can i use my language parameters name ? ps.: i have lot of rooms in attached building object. I just tested this case only on one floor where i created the spaces (in no other floor of my model are newly created spaces) What I am doing wrong ?

Hello @RichardPinka, I see the issue in your input. The example fouled you. The «%» sign should not be place before the parameter name or separator. Please update pyRevitMEP and try with following in Snowdown Towers Sample HVAC: Source input:

Number	-	Name
n°	Number	| name: 	Name

Target:

Comments
Name

You should see it working as expected.

I hope usage will be more clear now.
