We would like to use rooms as the basis of occupancy calculations. However, many occupancy calculations are based on the cumulative gross square footage. That gross square footage might span across a suite of rooms (i.e., a suite of offices under the business areas occupancy). If we had the ability to group rooms and reference that group as a 'super room' , we would be able to run our occupancy and fixture count calculations live from the revit model.
Our current workaround is to run calculations on areas in an area plan. The problem with this workaround is that area boundaries do not update with changes in the floor plan. We do not lock the sketch lines to maintain model efficiency. The 'super room' should maintain its cumulative boundary as the plan changes.
