Plaster schedule

Hello,

I have decided to do a kind of a research on how does Revit calculates plaster VOLUME and AREA. Despite all of my attempts I was unable to make Revit calculate plasters including window/door/head jambs correctly, since the "wrap" options in wall options are only a matter of graphics display.

The only way was using far too complicated (considering larger projects also long) procedure based on placing separate (jamb) families around each window/door. 

If this issue has ever occured anyones mind, Im kindly asking you to let me know your findings.


Thanks, E.

I do understand your struggles, other people also opted it as an idea.

To get an estimation, I would make a reporting parameter in your window/door family which calculates the amount of plaster rather than drawing it.

I too feel your pain, @edita.kuncarova. This is one of my biggest grievances with Revit. Wall wraps are absolutely worthless; nothing more than cosmetic linework. Not only can they not be quantified, but can’t be selected either – and they don’t interact with other model elements. They provide zero BIM value.  Yes: there are workarounds; but none are acceptable, and all are problematic.  

 

Sorry for my outburst.  Have a good day.    

 

P.S. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that this has been an IDEA for over a decade now.
