- About Rooms
A room is a subdivision of space within a building model, based on elements such as walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings. - About Rooms Spanning Floors or Levels
Rooms can span multiple floors or levels. - About Phase-Specific Rooms and Boundaries
When you place a room in a view, the room is added to the phase specified for the view, and it is defined by boundaries that exist in that phase. - About Scheduling Phase-Specific Rooms
You can create a room schedule that is specific to a phase, and include room area (and other information) in that schedule. - About Phase-Specific Rooms and Linked Models
If phase-specific rooms in a linked model do not reflect the correct phases, check phase mapping for the linked model. - About Sharing Room/Space Information Between Disciplines
Architects and mechanical engineers who collaborate on a model need to understand some behavior about rooms and spaces. - Create a Room
To place rooms in the building model, open a plan view and use the Room tool. - Place Rooms Automatically
Place rooms in all closed and bounded areas on the current level. - Select a Room
Select a room to check its boundaries, change its properties, remove it from the model, or move it to another location. - Control the Visibility of Rooms
By default, rooms do not display in plan views and section views. However, you can change visibility/graphic settings to make rooms and their reference lines visible in these views. - Copy a Room Between Phases
You can copy rooms from one phase to the next to preserve their properties. - Workflow: Linking an MEP Model to an Architectural Model
To share information about rooms and spaces in a model, an architect and a mechanical engineer can use linked models or worksharing. - Room Boundaries
Revit uses room boundaries when computing the area, perimeter, and volume of a room. - Room Tags
Rooms and room tags are separate but related Revit components. - Room Area and Volume
Revit can calculate the area and volume of rooms and display the information in schedules and tags. - Removing Rooms
After creating rooms, you can remove rooms from a building model temporarily or permanently. - Room Instance Properties
Modify instance properties to adjust the upper and lower boundaries of the room, specify materials and phasing, and more.
