Review Calculated Room Quantity Data

Review room calculation data and manually edit the results.

Open the Room Quantities dialog

1. If you have not calculated your room interior surface areas yet, calculate them now.
2. Click Quantification tab Roombook Extension panel (Calculate Room Quantities) to open the Calculate Room Quantities dialog.
3. To preserve calculations, select Skip recalculation and use last calculated results. This is useful when changes are made to your rooms and model and you don't want to take the time to recalculate. You can work with the data and update it when needed.
4. Click View/Edit Results to open the Room Quantities dialog and view the calculated data.

Access the Preview window

Click Show Details at the bottom of the dialog and click the Preview tab to expand the Preview window. The Preview window displays a project view that can be navigated in the same way as the drawing area of Revit. Three additional tools are available on the Preview tab.

• Dynamic preview. When selected, the calculated surface data displays as specified in the Options section (refer to the tools in the table below). This can be deselected to preserve system resources in large models.
• Auto zoom to fit. When selected, the Preview window will always zoom to the node selected in the Tree structure.
• Reset Preview. Returns the view in the Preview window to its original perspective.
