Using the Revit Plug-In, it is also possible to update dRofus with Item Occurrences based on non-Room bound Family Instances in Revit.

Example:

There are 6 x non-Room bound Family Instances representing 6 x Flag Poles on Level 07 on two of the building facades as follows:

dRofus Wiki > Items Not in Rooms > image-20220128-121335.png

Given that the Family Type (that represents the Flag Poles) has already been linked to a corresponding dRofus Item, when running a Synchronization for that Item, if you select "Import/Update Occurrences" as follows:

dRofus Wiki > Items Not in Rooms > image2018-9-4_15-53-34.png

After you have selected 'OK' and Sync, you will see a Sync Preview letting you know how many Occurrences will be created, updated and deleted.

dRofus Wiki > Items Not in Rooms > Sync Preview.png

Upon selecting Continue, the sync will run.

dRofus Wiki > Items Not in Rooms > Sync log.png

After the sync has completed, you will be able to view the Sync Log.

If you then go to dRofus > Items, you will note that 6 x non-Room bound Occurrences of the Flag Pole have been created as follows:

Info

Later on, if one or more of the Revit Family Instances have been deleted from the Revit Model, the next time you run a Synchronization for that Item, if you select "Import/Update Occurrences" and then further select "Delete unlinked Occurrences" as follows:

dRofus Wiki > Items Not in Rooms > image2018-9-4_16-4-55.png

dRofus will then be updated to delete the one or more Item Occurrences (based on the one or more deleted Revit Family Instances).
