This function enables pushing and / or pulling of data between:
- dRofus Room / Room Template / Function attributes and
- Revit Room / Space / Area parameters.
You can synchronize either dRofus Rooms or dRofus Room Templates or dRofus Functions (Functions are described in the next chapter) against either Revit Rooms or Revit Spaces or Revit Areas (Areas are described in the next chapter). Synchronization against Room Templates enables you to work with standard (Template) The function “Synchronize” facilitates the transfer of data between dRofus and Revits parameters:
dRofus Room <--> Revit Room
dRofus Room Template <--> Revit Room
dRofus Room <--> Revit Spaces
dRofus Room Function <--> Revit Area
Synchronization with Room Templates allows you to work with standardized data before a Room list has been
...
established within a dRofus project
...
To activate the dialog for synchronization, click on "Synchronize" within the dRofus Menu / Ribbon in Revit. If you have not yet logged in (go to "Other" > "Log in"), you will be asked to log in to a dRofus database. Enter your login information, after which you will be able to continue.
The following dialog will then appear:
...
dRofus filter: Allows you to apply a filter (using dRofus Properties attributes) to narrow down the number of Rooms / Room Templates / Functions to synchronize.
...
Query field: Field for entering the query which may be contained within the attribute selected in the dRofus filter.
...

In order to synchronize all rooms that are placed in Revit that also have the word "Corridor" as the Room Name in dRofus, choose "All placed" as the Revit filter and also enter "Corridor" as the dRofus filter's "Room Name":
The "Link status" dialog will then look like this:
|
...
Options: The number of dRofus Rooms / Room Templates / Functions and Revit Rooms / Spaces / Areas each option applies to are displayed (in parentheses) against each option.
...
Clear unmatched in dRofus: Clears all Revit-driven information within dRofus Rooms that are not / no longer matched against Revit Rooms (based on the applied dRofus and Revit filters). The Revit filter in this case has to be set to either "All in schedule" or "All placed", else this option cannot be checked.This will enable you to remove outdated data from dRofus Rooms that are no longer linked. This cannot be combined with the "Add unplaced to schedule" option above.

| If you have a large project and you do not have all the Revit Rooms in one model (see Use Model Name to work with multiple design models), using this without a dRofus filter (above), could result in the clearing of a lot of data unintentionally. Be sure to add a filter pertaining to Rooms that are expected to be in your current model. |

| title | Duplicate values |
|---|
Synchronization will not work for those Revit Rooms <-> dRofus Rooms where there are duplicate key values within the chosen Revit parameter (for Revit Rooms) or within the chosen dRofus attribute (for dRofus Rooms). It is recommended that these be audited prior to executing the synchronization process.
If at any stage there are such duplicate values, a message will be available as follows:
...
.
Step 1: Set Attribute configuration for the synchronization you intend to perform.
...
Duplicate Key Attribute
If there are duplicate key attribute within the selected Revit parameter or within the selected dRofus attribute, synchronization will not be possible for those specific pairs. It's highly recommended to audit these duplicates before initiating the synchronization process.
In case any duplicate values are detected at any point during the process, a message will be displayed, and you can which elements that are duplicated in the “Link Status”.
...
Step 2: Synchronize
1. Select “Synchronize” in the ribbon menu
...
Window bellow will appear:
...
2. Select what you intend to synchronize
3. Select Filter if the synchronization is to be limited to some Rooms/ Spaces / Areas.

If the project is large and the Revit Rooms are spread across multiple design models, it's important to use the Model Name feature to manage them effectively. Without applying a dRofus filter, using this feature could accidentally clear a significant amount of data. To prevent this, make sure to add a filter that specifically targets the Rooms that should be present in the current model. Read more about Use Model Name to work with multiple design models |
4. Select the tasks you want the synchronization to perform. Read more about the option Add Image of Revit Room and Synchronize Project Information.
5. Validate that the right configuration is selected.
6. Select “Synchronize”
Once the synchronization is complete, a notification message will appear indicating what actions have been performed.
