Assign room as a subcategory of a Unit number

[omidZKHNF]

Hi All,

I have several apartment units in Revit. I want to assign room to my enclosed rooms such as: Bath, Closet, Bedroom.
And I want to create a room for the whole unit, as well. so that I can extract the area of my units in addition to having the area of each Bath, Closet, Bedrooms separately. I am sure it is possible but I do not know.

thanks for your help

Area Plans are Revit's intended method to document the Units. Alternatively a schedule using a room numbering scheme or a unit parameter could group rooms by unit and give you total net area (minus wall thickness).

Thanks, but it should be possible even with rooms.
Please find attached the screen shot. It shows that both are rooms.

How are you modelling the project?

It is not possible to have a room for the overall unit and individual rooms within the unit. It is one or the other. The walls within the unit will affect the rooms you place and you'll get warnings about redundant rooms. Area Plans were created and designed to allow for documenting building area differently from Room data.

Instead of rooms and areas, use spaces then you can group them together in a zone.
