Send data from Revit to dRofus Room Data
Send data from Revit Room to dRofus Room Data
It is possible to send data from Room parameters in Revit to Room Data attributes in dRofus Client (where Room Data status is either "Unique" or "Derived From") using the Revit Plug In:

If a dRofus Room does not have an Room Data Status (i.e., it is currently "Not Created"), and if a dRofus attribute within the Rooms' Room Data is mapped to be written from a Revit Room parameter, it will automatically change the Room's Room Data status to "Unique".
If a Room has "From" (Room Template) as the Room Data Status, and if a dRofus attribute within the Rooms' Room Data is mapped to be written from a Revit Room parameter, and the value within the attribute is different to the Room Template's Room Data attribute, it will automatically change the Room's Room Data status to "Derived From".
All the rules when updating attributes within the Room Data using an Excel update also apply when using the Revit Add-On.
Add Status to dRofus Room Data on whether the linked Revit Room is placed
There is also a feature to notify whether a Room in dRofus is placed or not within Revit. It is a system parameter available via the Revit Add-On. This is currently limited to the logic type (Yes/No) of attributes within the Room Data:

Once the above parameter has been mapped to go in to a logic attribute within the Room Data in dRofus and a synchronization is run for an already placed Revit Room...

...the logic attribute will be updated with a check within dRofus as highlighted below:

This also means that when the "Start tracking" has been activated within the Revit Add-On and you deleted the Revit Room (and you opt to "Update dRofus") or you unlink the Revit Room from the dRofus Room, this logic attribute will be unchecked.
