Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought when timetable is generated, in one of the pages should appear, besides all that appears, in some place, the correspondence between an activity and the room where it should take place.
I mean, if I have "Group A", "Teacher A", "Subject A", "Group B", "Teacher B", "Subject B", "Group C", "Teacher C", "Subject C"
Then I have "Activity A", "Activity B", "Activity C", "Activity A1", "Activity B1", "Activity C1", etc
And "Room 1", "Room 2", "Room 3", "Room 4" "Room 5"
Then I generate the timetable.
Then I would like to see
Activity A - Room 3
Activity B - Room 1
Activity C - Room 1
Activity A1 - Room 2
Activity B1 - Room 5
Activity C1 - Room 4
Is that possible, or is it already implemented and am I doing something wrong that I can not see it?
I think the information you want appears in activities.xml file in generate timetables and possibly if you export the data into CSV, in the timetable CSV variant.
Actually, there is some info at that file, but it looks as if it where broken or incomplete:
<Activities_Timetable>
−
<Activity>
<Id>1</Id>
<Day>Dimarts</Day>
<Hour>09:45</Hour>
<Room/>
and the same for every activity......
Thanks for answering so quickly
You need to add space constraints to force activities into rooms.
At the moment I have this one, besides of the basic one:
Space constraint
Students minimum gaps between building changes
Weight (percentage)=100%
Minimum gaps between building changes=1
Do you mean I have to add a space constraint to the rooms?, if so the only possible constraint that I see is "A room's not available times" which I don't need.

You need to add home rooms or preferred rooms constraints. Otherwise, the room for an activity will be unspecified.
Ok, I will try it, but I think is like doing it manually, like in the case I'm working on now where I have "x rooms" different sizes, and "y groups" different amounts, so I wanted FET to look for the more suitable room for each group.
Did you read this:

Yes, but while I'm implementing your suggestion I'm reading it again, and I'm realizing that is not that manually I told you before :).
thanks again.
Thanks to both of you "Gurus", it worked out perfectly well. :D 8-)
