There are several ways in which to create a room list in dRofus. You can manually create a function structure and room in the room module, you can import from Excel or Revit, or you can create rooms from an IFC model. The program's IFC functionality is described in detail in a separate users' guide available here. The process to import a room list from Excel is described in Import and Update Data/wiki/spaces/DFW/pages/1125611639.
Create room function structure
Before you can create a room, you have to create a level (function) under which the room can be created. To create a level in the function structure, you can either right-click on the project name in the room overview and select New department (ref. the figure below). This , or navigate to Room → Functions → New in the ribbon menu. This selection may have different names depending on the project. You can also carry out this operation to create sub-levels. You will need the necessary rights to perform this operation. The depth (how many levels on top of each other) of the structure and the names of the different levels (function, department, section etc.) are set by the project administrator.
