Stairs:

• The top of the staircase is either higher than or lower than the height specified for the staircase. Add or remove risers at the top, or change the settings for the height of the top of the staircase in the staircase's instance properties.

SOLUTION 1: Add slopes using handles (blue circles) SOLUTION 2: Temporarily change the "Desired Number of Slopes" parameter and then change it back (Revit bug)

• The bottom of the staircase is below the base height specified for the staircase or does not reach it.

SOLUTION: Add or remove risers at the bottom, or change the base height settings in the staircase's instance properties.

• The actual number of inclines differs from the desired number.

SOLUTION: Add or remove risers using the handles (blue circles; the arrows only move the treads). Or change the desired number of risers in the staircase properties.

• The actual width of one or more flights of stairs is less than the minimum width specified for the stair type.

SOLUTION: Adjust the width using the arrow keys or change the "Minimum Width" type parameter

• The actual tread width of the staircase is less than the minimum tread width specified for this staircase type.

SOLUTION: Font settings > Adjust minimum character width or change calculation rules.

• The actual riser height of the staircase is greater than the maximum riser height defined for the staircase type.

SOLUTION: Go to Type Settings > Adjust Maximum Step Height or Change Calculation Rules.

• The thickness of the notches must not exceed the thickness of the landing.

SOLUTION: Change the notch

• The components of the staircase are not connected throughout. This may result in incorrect display and labeling.

SOLUTION: Move the components so that they touch each other

Duplicates/identical copies:

• The highlighted walls overlap. If Revit detects room boundaries, one of these walls may be ignored.

SOLUTION: Use the commands for cutting out geometry to make one wall wrap around the other. Or use the Tab key to select one of the grouped overlapping walls and remove it from the group.

• One element is completely contained within another.

SOLUTION: Move/delete the element (NOTE: Overlapping floor slabs do not trigger a warning in Revit; verification with Solibri is required!)

• The inserted element is causing a conflict with the connected wall.

SOLUTION: Move/delete element

• There are identical instances in the same location. These are counted twice in the schedules (parts lists)!

SOLUTION: Delete duplicate items.

• A wall and a room divider overlap.

SOLUTION: Correct the room boundary line

Slightly offset:

• The line in the sketch is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: Change the sketch line if possible; in some cases, this warning must be accepted (e.g., base boundary slightly offset)

• The line is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: Change the line if possible; in some cases, this warning must be accepted (e.g., the baseline is slightly offset).

• The reference plane is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: See the previous point

• The grid is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: See the previous point

• The room boundary line is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: See the previous point

• The wall is slightly offset and may cause inaccuracies.

SOLUTION: See the previous point

Rooms, areas, property lines:

• The area is not located within a properly enclosed area.

SOLUTION: Add area boundary lines

• Property boundaries do not form a closed loop. The area is not calculated.

SOLUTION: Add property boundaries

• Several rooms are located within the same enclosed area. The correct area and perimeter are assigned to one room, and the other rooms are marked as "Redundant Room."

SOLUTION: (Redundant = existing in multiple instances, unnecessary) You should separate the areas, delete the extra rooms, or move them to other areas.

• The room is not located in a properly enclosed area.

SOLUTION: Add room divider lines

• Spatial volumes overlap, ...

SOLUTION: Adjust the upper limit and upper offset

• Connection error due to a problem with editing rules or design options.

SOLUTION: Copy (duplicate) objects in Design Options

• Several areas are located within the same enclosed space. The correct area and perimeter are assigned to one area, and the other rooms are marked as "Redundant Area."

SOLUTION: You should separate the areas, delete the extra space, or move it to other areas.

• The part is not placed. Physical properties such as surface areas are listed as "Not placed" in the parts list.

SOLUTION: You can add or remove a room using the options bar in the Room tool. Room XX-XX is ignored in the energy analysis model.

• The highlighted face boundary lines overlap. If Revit detects face boundaries, one of these lines may be ignored.

SOLUTION: Delete one of the lines.

• A wall and a face boundary line intersect. One of the lines may be ignored when Revit determines face boundaries.

SOLUTION: Shorten or delete the face separation line to resolve the overlap.

Miscellaneous:

• The opening partially cuts through the base component. Cut in structural opening: opening cut.

SOLUTION: Do not create the frame using the command >Open >By Area; instead, use the reference plane and >Section

• The element is detached from the layer.

SOLUTION: This can only be determined through a specific analysis.

• The joint could not be created. The wall could not be cut out. 
• One or more vertical rails cannot be created.
• The railing profile must contain at least one closed loop. The incorrect profile is not displayed in the profile list for the railing definition.
• The thickness of this floor slab may be slightly inaccurate because its shape has been significantly modified. The dimensions of this element in section and detail views may not accurately reflect the thickness shown in the type properties.

SOLUTION: The warning must be accepted; thickness is always measured vertically in shape-editing commands, which results in a change in thickness.

• The thickness of this roof may be slightly inaccurate, as its shape has been significantly altered. The dimensions of this element in section and detail views may not accurately reflect the thickness shown in the type properties.

SOLUTION: See the previous point

• Conditions: The slope of this handrail may not be parallel to the start and landing of the staircase.

SOLUTION: To create a parallel railing, separate the railing sketch at the ends of the landings. The requirements for wall enclosure are no longer met.

• Elements have duplicate 'ID' values.

SOLUTION: Change the ID (there cannot be more than one with the same ID)

• Elements have duplicate 'Name' values.

SOLUTION: Change the name (there must not be more than one with the same name)

• Elements have duplicate 'number' values.

SOLUTION: Change the number (there cannot be more than one with the same number)

• Geometry for one or more railings cannot be created
• The highlighted elements are connected but do not intersect.

SOLUTION: Remove the connection (generally, do not create connections between walls and floor slabs)

• The profiled wall could not be created. The sweep is not located on the correct wall.

Solution: Check the sweep parameters.

• The rectangular opening does not intersect the corresponding base component.
• The railing is not continuous. Discontinuities in the railing typically occur at transitions with acute angles. Try the following to resolve the issue: - Change the transition style in the railing's type properties, or - Modify the railing path at the transition.
• The distance between the calculation model and the physical models of the structural element is greater than the tolerance (0.1524).

SOLUTION: Move the analytical system axis within the object geometry

• Circle reference (Can only be removed by deleting the element; prevention: Do not connect floor slabs to walls)
