- The list displays rooms that are connected to the selected function in dRofus beneath a level in the building structure in the model. The list can show rooms in both the room program (dRofus) and in the model, only in the model and only in dRofus:
- 3D viewing window
- Occurrence Match- Shows a comparison of Occurrences in dRofus and in the model
Symbols when you are under a function/sub-function::
Rooms are in the model, but not in the room program. This means that dRofus does not find any room with the same ID in the room list. Either because the room was not created in dRofus, or because the room has the wrong ID in the model (according to configuration). | |
| This icon is displayed to indicate that the room exists in the model and is connected to a room in dRofus |
Other symbols | All other symbols indicate that dRofus does not find the room with the same ID in the model. That means the rooms are not in the model, or that the rooms have not been connected(due to missing or incorrect ID) |
Symbols when you are under a level in model (2):
This icon appears with an exclamation mark to indicate that the room does not exist in the room program (or has not been able to connect to it due to incorrect ID). | |
| This icon appears when the rooms in the model are connected to a room in the room program. |
