We have started implementing Revit in our office in India.
We use Brick walls, Concrete Beams and Columns.
I know we do Arch and Struc models separately and link.
If we do so how we are going to get the exact wall volumes as the walls have to stop under the bottom of the Beams and no overlaps with the columns.
If we link Struc model, the beams and columns will overlap with the wall.
To get the exact wall volumes using option Join Geometry we can join wall, Column and RCC beam, but joining all these three in the complete project will be not productive.
Please check the attched images and advice. Also let me know how do you calculate BOQ's.
As we do not use ceilings we need a continuous finish from floors, Beams, columns and Windows as shown in the 3rd image.
Another question is the wrapping of finish outside the window opening in the plan as in 4th image.
I need solutions other than line work as we need the quantity of finish.
Thank you.

The bottom line is, what you model is what your volumes will indicate.
Just curious. Are you in fact an 'Autodesk Certified Professional' ?

I have 8 yrs of exp in Revit Architecture. Yes I am an Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012 Certified Professional.
I know what way you give inputs, you get the output.
Bottom line of my question is 'Are you able to get all the quantities exactly using Revit Arch or using any other methods for the quantities?'
2nd Q: Can we wrap the finishes around the window opening as shown in my images(Both in plan and section).
3rd Q: Can we have finishes for Beams which can join with the floor finishes?
If we have to acheive this with drafting tools then we will be missing the quantities.
Please let me know how are you handling this situation?

The wall finish wrap at window / door openings is controlled by the reference planes within the Window family. Turn on the 'Wall Closure' property of the refernce plane you want to have the control. Then set the 'wrap' option in the wall layer to have it wrap to the fore-mentioned reference plane. I believe you could have a beam finish join with a wall or floor finish. The result will depend on 'materials'.

I think to be able to trust Revit, all Revit users should build small test models that they test for automatic take-offs vs their own manual takeoff. I have done these using simple models with simple units like 10x10x10 .... When you do this with just a couple of elements at a time, you can see exactly what Revit is doing.
Trusting someone else is NOT an option for me.

Thank you for your response. I feel one cannot control the length of horizontal wraps using 'Wall closure' but can control the vertical length. Please find the attached Revit model for clarity on this and for other detail clarifications.

Anyone has resolved this problems? I need to quantify finishes for beams and columns too. Which is the faster and simple way? Thanks if anyone can help

What about using the plugin named Roombook for quantity takeoff of surfaces of rooms? I had some troubles using it with phases but it should work fine if it's a project with just one phase.
