I’ve been using Dynamo to create rooms and room schedules out of an Excel spreadsheet we have from consultants. The project is ongoing and the consultant is continually updating the Excel. I had tested to make sure that running Dynamo would only update existing rooms, and it did. But I found a snag in that.
For some floors, some rooms are numbered with letters (example: on floor 3 there is a room numbered “3000” and another room numbered “3000A”
The problem is that the number only rooms (3000) are coming into Revit as a new room and not updating the existing room. While the rooms with letters (3000A) are only updating the existing room.
Any suggestions? Adding a letter to number only rooms is not ideal because we are using this data to help with facilities maintenance and space planning and would cause confusion.
