Room type edit and creating

[Anonymous]

Hi!

I'm trying to find, how could I edit and create new parameters under "Room Type". The idea is to do a BIM-model which needs particular finnish room type names. Problem is that Revit doesn't allow me to add in schedules new own room types (in name category that works). Is there any way to do that?

I'm not sure i completely understand your question, but you can easily create a new Type or Instance-paramater in the "Rooms" category and then sort/filter your schedule after that.

Manage -> Project parameters -> Add

From the "Categories" list select "Rooms" and fill out the Parameter Data needed. 

I apologize if i misunderstood your question 🙂

Hi there, 

I've taken a screen shot of a project I am working on, when you select a room you can go to identity data in the properties bar, which I've highlighted. This then offers you the option to specify the rooms Occupancy, Department, Base Finish, Ceiling Finish, Wall Finish & Floor Finish. 

You can then enter the data relevant to the room and create schedules and floor plans which relate to the finish types of your rooms.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Jacob

To add another parameter, follow the steps in this PDF I made

The preferred method to standardize data for Room Type is via a Key Schedule.  basically you create a Key for each Room Type, and add parameters for finishes and enter them for each type.  When done, assign a Room Type for a bunch of Rooms and they are all populated with the predefined finishes.
