On the previous pages, you learned some useful techniques that will help you when working with gbXML exports from Revit. Now its time to have a go at applying those techniques to an example model. In the next section, the problems will be discussed in detail along with how to fix them.
Make sure you have a go at the example problem before looking at the solutions!

Remember, your first reference should be the techniques section on the previous page. If you find a problem you cant solve using the videos, check the Revit gbXML guide.
If you get really stuck, there are some hints below. Try not to look!
- Rooms not applied to all areas
- Bad room limits
- Room separation line overlapping a wall
- Room bounding columns
- Floors missing from some areas
- Wall has the wrong function
- Ground floor has the wrong function.
Below are the tricker issues, with references to the Revit gbXML guide.
- Empty ceiling void (section 1.2.5)
- Two walls in contact (section (1.1.1)
- Empty wall void (section 1.2.4)
These problems were included because in real life it is not unusual to encounter a problem you have not seen before – in such cases you should see whether your issue is covered in the guide. There is a troubleshooting section at the end of the guide which suggests likely solutions.

Now that you’ve had a go and think you’ve fixed the model, the next section will reveal all of the issues with the test file.
