How to Check Window Placements in Naviate Accelerate

When we started the refactoring of Naviate’s Door/Window Drawings tool, we originally took it for granted that all windows would be placed on the outside of the exterior walls. But what if, by accident, a window was placed on the wrong side or got flipped during one of the design processes? So, we came up with the idea to have an instance parameter on windows to check if they’re placed towards a room or not. If they’re placed towards a room, they are placed incorrectly (except for balconies and terraces). Revit doesn’t show the parameter Room Name in either Properties or Schedules. Schedules can show either To Room or From Room, but this can be overridden by the Naviate UID’S tool — and then will only show balconies and terraces in From Room. Nevertheless, schedule information can’t be easily used to select or show all displaced windows. With Naviate’s Combine Parameter Values tool, we can access the Room Name parameter. We can also use this tool to write the value to a custom parameter like — in the example below — Placed to Room.
