Efficiently Find the Sum of Room Areas with F# - tailoryourbim.com

Dear readers,

While working on Revit, I noticed there could be a few possibilities to improve the efficiency when retrieving the sum of room areas by writing external commands. And I posted on my blog, tailoryourbim.com, how to write an external command with F# and RevitAPI, which instantly report the sum of selected room areas. I would like to share this knowledge with you.

[...] we want to know instantly the sum of areas from different rooms. This is quite useful, when planning.... [...]

There is one related post in this forum. While I think, having a directly response while modeling might be faster than switching between views and schedules and thus improve the working efficiency.

If you're interested for more information, check on tailoryourbim.com.

Thank you very much for sharing your interesting solution.

I'll add a pointer to it some day soon in The Building Coder, if I may.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

It would be an honor to be mentioned on The Building Coder.

If it weren't for your website and posts, I wouldn't understand and learn Revit API so fast.

If I may, I'd like to post more of this kind of solutions helping us work efficiently!

Best regards,

Ching-Hua.
