Overview

Room types that have been defined for a "Hostels/Nursing homes" building type are reverting to a "24x7 bedroom".

This issue affects Design Database v25.06.15 and SBEM v4.1.d.
You must have the final update for v25 installed before using the methods described here.

Method

To resolve this issue, please follow these instructions:

1. Download the DDBFAV.ZIP file, available from here - take note of where you download it.
    
2. Ensure that you have fully exited Bentley Hevacomp software.
    
3. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your Bentley Hevacomp software installation folder.
    
4. Once you have located the Heva25 folder, go from there into the Hevadata folder
    
5. Unzip the DDBFAV.ZIP file (that you downloaded in step 1.) into the Hevadata folder. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing file. Please do so.
    
6. Run the software, reload your project and reselect your room types. They should remain correctly defined from here on in. 

If you encounter any difficulty in unzipping the above file using Microsoft default zipping program then we recommend using a 3rd party unzipper such as 7-zip.
