Room placing - Walls, floors, ceilings and roofs are set by default to be room bounding, this can be controlled in the properties dialog by selecting the element after creating and un-checking the option. Rooms don't create themselves automatically, you must place rooms. Use the Room command found on the Home tab.
Room boundary - Room extents for open spaces can be controlled by the room boundary, adding a line connecting to bounding walls to limit the boundary.
Room tags - Why can't I place a room tag? Well, because you have to "place" the room first, then you can tag it! Command found under the Home tab at Room & Area.
Door and window
tags - Use Tag all command under Annotate tab in floor plan views. Click to modify tag numbers.
Schedules - Create a schedule or the preceding under the View tab, select Schedules / Quantities. Schedules are live and changes done to the plan or the schedule both affect each other. ie. change a window or door family type in the schedule and it will change in plan. (if you do, be sure to check for placement)
Crop boundaries - turn off and on in properties dialog, drag in and out to prepare for placement into a drawing sheet. Crop view and Annotation crop separately, Can NOT draw linework outside of the crop view, must be a symbol / family considered annotation by Revit.
Room color fill - In a plan view, Command under Home tab, Room & Area panel, click Legend. Click to locate on screen in approximate location, you can move it later. Choose Space Type dialog will pop up, select desired options, click ok. Legend appears and rooms become color coded. Highlight the legend and click Edit Scheme under the Modify tab to control room visibility and change color scheme.
