How to turn off space and volume calculation in revit 2020?  I've been on a revit article that tells how to turn off space and volume calculations but I could not see any "select" or "clear" buttons it was saying. thank you

this is all you have control over...

[LanggamanXavierMassed]

so you can't turn it off?

[barthbradley]

You don't.  

Turn it "off" that is.

What is this tutorial about?  

It's just strange that you are being instructed to turn "it" OFF. What are you learning about?

Hey, @LanggamanXavierMassed : post a link to the learning resource you are using.

I think it is just a bad description: "On the Computations tab of the Area and Volume Computations dialog, under Volume Computations, select (to enable) or clear (to disable) Areas and Volumes."

@LanggamanXavierMassedThe descriptions for select/clear are not buttons ie.

You can just disable volume calculation by selecting "area calculation only" in the dropdown under the architecture Room&Area tab.

are you looking to remove the unused spaces from a schedule? 

if that's the case make a space schedule with Area information included. then filter and delete the spaces that say Not Placed that you don't want.

[LanggamanXavierMassed]

no. but I will take note of this cause I'll need it in the future, thank you.

I was just searching for ways to increase revit performance.

I agree this needs to be something Revit can do. Performance is terrible unless you're working on a small model.
