It is possible to import ArchiCAD Zones with any associated information from an ArchiCAD model directly into the dRofus database. 

This feature can be used to load data into a dRofus Project from an existing ArchiCAD model. This function is also used to dynamically add Zones being created in ArchiCAD into dRofus. For example, after having placed all of the dRofus Rooms in the ArchiCAD model, you might later add all the additional ArchiCAD created Zones (such as Corridors) into dRofus.

What data is imported?

Like all other operations in the ArchiCAD Add-On this process also relies upon the active Room Attribute Configuration. By default it will use the Configuration you have defined as Default, but you can also create a customised Configuration for importing Zones. If so, make sure you select the correct Attribute Configuration by clicking on the active Attribute Configuration to use within the "Import Rooms to dRofus" dialog (highlighted below):

When importing Zones to dRofus the directions of all the mapped attributes within the Attribute Configuration will be reversed in order to write data FROM ArchiCAD TO dRofus. For example, if you have defined that "Notes" on a Room should go from dRofus to ArchiCAD in the active Attribute Configuration, when you carry out the ArchiCAD Zones import, it will actually push the values the other way - i.e., from ArchiCAD to dRofus. However, note that it will not update any Attributes that are read-only in dRofus (such as system or calculated attributes). These attributes will be displayed in half tone within the Attribute Configuration editor to indicate which ones cannot be updated.

Where should the Zones be imported to in dRofus?

Every Zone that is to be imported in to dRofus must be located somewhere within the pre-defined Function Structure. So before importing Zones into dRofus you must decide which Function and / or Sub-Function to import to.
