Revit- How can I adjust the computation height?

[Anonymous]

I have a room that is slightly over the main level 1 by 3' and the room tag/area boundary keeps reading the  walls of the lower level. When I adjust using the grips in section (pulling it up from +0' to +3'), i get a warning saying i am exceeding the computation height. How can this be adjusted? 

Thanks

Is the room on its own level?

Have you tried to change the Room Computations to include Volumes?

Hello from Spain diddetteYEF7A

The calculation height is set in the level, not in the room.

By default the calculation height has no offset over the asociated level.
You can select a level in a section or elevation view an set the value for calculation height in the properties palette.

If you assign to your level 1 an upper offset greater than your room offset, you will avoid that warning.

no, its set up with with a base offset from Level 1 by 3'.

Give it its own level.

Hi Augusto,

Your suggestion might help me solve the problem. Do you have a reference video or live example that I can follow to try it out the proper way?

I would really appreciate that.

Thanks.

Tried that, it messed the rooms even more. not sure what is going on.

If you don't want to add an intermediate level:  

- Set the raised floor set as Room boundary

- Cut clip the Room

- Go to the next level floor plan view and paste the Room align to same place

- Now you can adjust the Offsets.  You can cut a section and stretch it as well

Or, simply create an intermediate Level and its plan view then create the Room in that View like @Sahay_R suggested.

Hello,

I was experencing the same problem. The solutions of adding an ad-hoc level for the room or pasting the room in the level above (and lowering its base offset) are not really solutions. From a design perspective, the room belongs to the same base level as the others but with a slight base offset. If the room is moved to another level, the room schedule would be wrong (it would list the rooms as belonging to the upper level or to a new ad-hoc level). If the room is left on the correct level but the base offset is not corrected, the volume of the room would be incorrect, as well as its unconnected height, wich could eventually entail computation innacuracies.

A solution is to make the floor of that room (as a new floor type) as thick as the necessary room offset, and set it as room boundary. If there is a sapace between the level and the base of the floor, revit will make the room in that space (which is ridiculous), but if there is no space, it will automatically make the room above the floor. Any air space between the level and the base of the floor should be part of the floor structure.

Hope it helps.

Another alternative solution is to change the Level's computation height.

Go to elevation or section view, select the level where the room is hosted. At the property, change the Level's computation height to your preferred height whichever highest of the variations. All rooms will now enclosed
