The options bar displays the most commonly modified properties for objects during their placement, but does not contain all of the properties for an object that is found in the instance properties palette. The introduction of a modeless properties palette in Revit revolutionized our ability to define object properties during their placement.
It has generally been accepted that you can change object properties from the options bar or the instance properties palette. The definition/modification of Room and Space object properties in Revit are an exception. If you define or modify Room or Space properties in the options bar while placing them in a project the instance properties palette becomes disabled.
This is another example of Revit's dependency on order of operation. Changes made in the Option Bar super cede the newer data entry capability of the properties palette...maybe it's a seniority thing?
