The inventory is not stored in the database but calculated each time Room Manager is used. There is therefore no need to update the inventory for a room. The room of any element in AVEVA E3D Design can be obtained using the GTROOM attribute which returns a list of room elements. This attribute can be used in reports or to extract room data for use in other systems.
