Areabook Extension for Revit

An overview of the Areabook Extension

• Combine room groups and evaluate by levels, departments, flats, building, and building sections.
• Rooms have a predefined area assignment based on names.
• Optionally, you may select to calculate subareas under roofs and stairs based on height lines and calculation factors.
• Subareas are now automatically detected and calculated, similar to the way columns, wall segments, wall niches, and windows niches affect the floor area.
• You can apply reductions for finishing surfaces to the room, subareas, or to single sides.
• You can display the dissection areas in the project and export forms for mathematical evidence.
• Several export formats are available: MS Excel. Design Web Format, CSV and Revit Schedules.

Areabook includes different national standards for calculating areas

Areabook uses the following standards in association with other defined calculation rules:

International Standard

• Existing Revit Architecture rooms are used for specific information.
• Room assignments are automatically predefined from the area definition in a RevitRFA file.
• Combine room groups and evaluate by levels, departments, flats, building, and building sections.
• Calculated floor areas by net, gross and construction floor area.
• Evaluate areas by living area, net floor area, and unfinished area with automatic dissection and mathematical evidence.
• Consider one or two height lines for the calculation of room areas under roofs and stairs.
• For clear area evaluations, Areabook offers predefined Microsoft Excel templates that you can customize.
• Export to Design Web Format (DWF) to edit the data further with Autodesk Quantity Takeoff.
• You can export Areabook data to a CSV file.
• You can export data to Revit schedules.

DIN Standard (Germany):

• Area calculation according to DIN 277 and WoflV or II.BV.
• Existing Revit Architecture rooms extend for DIN 277 specific information.
• Room assignments are automatically predefined according to DIN 277 from the area definition in a Revit RFA file.
• Combine room groups and evaluate by levels, departments, flats, building, and building sections.
• Calculated floor areas by net, gross and construction floor area.
• Evaluate areas by DIN 277 and WoflV/II.BV with automatic dissection and mathematical evidence.
• Consider height lines for the calculation of room areas under roofs and stairs according to DIN 277 or WoflV resp. II.BV.
• Subareas are ignored for calculation by value, such as elements by area or height, stairs by number of steps, and niches by depth.
• For clear area evaluations, Areabook offers predefined Microsoft Excel templates that you can customize.
• For living area calculations by Wohnflächenverordnung (WofIV), Zweiter Berechnungsverordnung (II.BV) offers a standard form accepted by most German building authorities.
• Export to Design Web Format (DWF) to edit the data further with Autodesk Quantity Takeoff.
• You can export Areabook data to a CSV file.
• You can export data to Revit schedules.
