Modify instance properties to adjust the upper and lower boundaries of the room, specify materials and phasing, and more.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Constraints | |
| Level | The base level on which the room resides. A read-only value. See About Defining the Lower Boundary of a Room. |
| Upper Limit | The level from which to measure the upper boundary of the room. See About Defining the Upper Boundary of a Room. |
| Limit Offset | The distance at which the upper boundary of the room occurs, measuring from the Upper Limit level. Enter a positive number to go above the Upper Limit level, or enter a negative number to go below it. Enter 0 (zero) to use the level specified for the Upper Limit. The default is 10’ (4000 mm). See About Defining the Upper Boundary of a Room. |
| Base Offset | The distance at which the lower boundary of the room occurs, measuring from the base level (defined by the Level parameter). Enter a positive number to go above the base level, or enter a negative number to go below it. Enter 0 (zero) to use the base level. The default is 0. See About Defining the Lower Boundary of a Room. |
| Dimensions | |
| Area | The net area computed from the room-bounding elements. A read-only value. See About Room Area. |
| Perimeter | The perimeter of the room. This is a read-only value. See About Room Area. |
| Unbounded height | The largest potential height of the room, based on the room height parameters: Level, Upper Limit, Limit Offset, and Base Offset. This value is read-only. See About Room Height. (The room’s actual height may be changed by room-bounding elements, such as intervening floors and roofs. See About Ceilings and Floors in Room Volume Computations.) |
| Volume | The volume of the room when volume computation is enabled. See About Room Volume. A read-only value. |
| Identity Data | |
| Number | An assigned room number. This value must be unique for each room in a project. Revit LT warns you if the number is already used but allows you to continue using it. (See Reviewing Warning Messages or Warnings for Selected Elements.) Room numbers are assigned sequentially. See Create sequential room number tags. |
| Name | The room name, such as Conference Room or Kitchen. |
| Comments | User-specified information about the room. |
| Occupancy | Type of occupancy for the room, such as Retail. |
| Department | Department for which the room will be used. |
| Base Finish | Finish for the base. |
| Ceiling Finish | Finish for the ceiling, such as stucco. |
| Wall Finish | Finish for the wall, such as painted. |
| Floor Finish | Finish for the floor, such as carpeting. |
| Occupant | Name of the person, group, or organization that will use the room. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase | The project phase to which the room belongs. A read-only value based on view properties. |
