  1. Editing attributes that are not mapped within the active / default Configuration:

    In the following example, if dRofus' User Room Number value (within the dRofus Panel) is changed from <blank> to "123" and Group Type - Construction Phase value is changed from "Phase 3 to "Phase 1" and then "Save" is clicked on:



    The next time you view the dRofus Client, you will see these changes:



  2. Editing attributes that are mapped within the active / default Configuration (as dRofus <- Revit):

    In the following example, if dRofus' Room Number value (within the dRofus Panel) is changed from "L7-016" to "L7-030" and then "Save" is clicked on, the update will be immediate within the corresponding Revit parameter Number as well as dRofus Client:

  3. Editing attributes that are mapped within the active / default Configuration (as dRofus -> Revit):

    In the following example, if dRofus' Room Name value (within the dRofus Panel) is changed from "PREMIUM BED 3" to "PREMIUM BED 5" and then "Save" is clicked on, the update will be made immediately within the corresponding Revit parameter Name (within the Revit Properties Panel) as well:

    Because the mapping of this attribute / parameter is set up as dRofus <- Revit, an alternative method is also available (and it is important to be aware of this):

    In the following example, if Revit's Number value (within the Revit Properties Panel) is changed from "L7-030" to "L7-050" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will be made immediately within the corresponding dRofus attribute Room Number (within the dRofus Panel) as well:

    Please note that this can happen even when the dRofus Panel is hidden.


    This does not necessarily mean that the value for dRofus attribute Room Number has actually changed within dRofus Client. In other words, those fields within the dRofus Panel that have blue arrows next to them simply displays the current values of their (mapped) Revit parameters, and not the actual values of the corresponding dRofus attributes. The only way to be certain about updating dRofus attributes within dRofus Client when updating values of the (mapped) Revit parameters within the Revit Properties Panel is by using a feature called "Auto Sync" - which can be engaged by clicking on the Start tracking button:

    Because the mapping of this attribute / parameter is set up as dRofus -> Revit, changes made within the Revit parameter will NOT affect changes to the corresponding dRofus attribute (and it is important to be aware of this).

    In the following example, if Revit's Name value (within the Revit Properties Panel) is changed from "PREMIUM BED 5" to "PREMIUM BED 9" and then "Apply" is clicked on, the update will NOT be made within the corresponding dRofus attribute Room Name (within thedRofus Panel) as follows:

    In the same way that changes within the Revit Properties Panel are manifested without clicking on "Apply" - for example, if your mouse hovers over another region of your interface (other than the Revit Properties Panel) andengages in some other activity (or even a click for that matter), changes within the dRofus Panel can also get manifested without clicking on "Save":
