add length, width, and height to schedule floors

[1015253CBBFL]

Hello, I would like to include length, width, and height parameters in my floor schedule. Could you please guide me on how to add these fields?

Sure. I see lots of explanations searching the Internet for "revit add field to schedule":

Hi @1015253CBBFL,

For height you mean thickness, there are the Core Thickness and Default thickness fields already available.

Maybe even elevation at top/bottom can be used to calculate height if sloped ?

For length and width I always wonder what's the purpose of it, as a floor (and roof/ceiling) can have non-rectangular shapes and what if it has angled boundaries....area or volume would have more meaning.

So for Length/width I would rather use max_length/max_width....

Is the question about how to add parameters to a project (for the floor category) or on how to fill the parameters with values for the floors.

Or is on how to create a schedule in the API and add those parameters?

Some floor shapes are indeed rectangular and it will be nice to extract lengths or widths for measuring purposes

For rectangular shapes, obtaining width and length is pretty easy, even if the data is not stored directly in separate parameter values; you can query the floor element for its slab geometry and determine the lengths of all horizontal edges; the width and length should occur four times each on the 8 horizontal slab edges; four on the bottom face, four on the top.
