Rolling over part of an IRA to a Roth IRA does not count for RMD. You must take your RMD first from your traditional IRA before you can convert funds to a Roth IRA. Converting to a Roth IRA eliminates future RMD's for the converted amount, because a Roth IRA does not have an RMD requirement for the original owner. Keep in mind that any funds you're converting to Roth are taxed in the year of conversion.
