Volume of a special room ?

[Anonymous]

I have this problem, that the marked room volume is not registrered by Revit.
How do I get Revit to include the marked volume in the room? Is that not possible?

For those rooms with the walls inclined towards the outside, try to do the rooms from the upper level, going down, by changing the properties of the the room, as shown below. It also helps to draw some room separation lines at the upper level (as indicated with the red lines below).

Thanks for the idea Alfredo.

That did however not quite solve the problem. Revit is not able to detect the room boundaries for that one room (surrounded by in-place-modelled walls and ceiling), when I try to create the Room object "upside down".

I also asked some of my skilled partners but no one seems to be able to come up with a straight forward solution.

I guess that I must make an exception remark for this room.

Good workaround, Alfredo! I used that method previously as well, but found that when I need to schedule furniture per room,those elements placed in the special room would schedule as an room placed on Level 2, instead of level 1 (If this makes any sense at all) (Image 1)

The workaround I have found is more elaborate, and not perfect, but here is another option:

1. Create a dedicated Level 1-SP level (To indicate special room level)

2. Create a floor plan from Level 1-SP

3. In a section view, select Level 1-SP and change the computation height to a smidge below the uppermost ceiling/wall intersection

4. Place the room in the Level 1-SP view

5. Back in a section, stretch the room up to past the uppermost intersection.

Care will have to be taken taken though to ensure that all elements which are not located in the special room, are placed on Level 1, instead of Level 1-SP.
