In a typical elevator or stair tower, having a straight shaft, I can create a single room and have it span from the first level to the second level and above without any issues.  What I'm attempting to do now is have a single room run from the first level to the second level of an enclosed straight stair.  The trouble I'm having is the boundaries on the first level are a smaller footprint than the boundaries on the second level.  Is it possible to have a single room with a smaller footprint on the first level than the second level?

I think typhoon missed the question.

 

CCABob,

If you are on 2009, I think they have some new abilities to address issues like this but I have not yet tried them out.  Are you on 2009?  Have you adjusted your room height to span the space vertically?  If so, then I believe 2009 will show you how it works ... if it does.

No, I'm not trying to draw a stair, I'm attempting to get a single room to span multiple levels.  The room tag at the second level should match the room tag at the first level, preferrably done with one room instead of two rooms with the same tag.  the space at the first level is smaller than the space at the second level, yet both are part of one volume.  It's tough to explain, so I attached an image of what I'm attempting to explain.

CCABob,

I understood the question. If you added a room at both levels then you will have two rooms. From your lowest level, you need to adjust the properties of that room so that it includes the level above. Did you do that?

 

Actually, I believe you will want to place your room on the largest level and have a negative description of the space vertically since REVIT will see the reduction in room size. I do not believe it will see the increase in size going vertically.

WWHub,

You and I must have been replying at the same time.  I'm currently working in 2008 and was thinking about trying it in 2009.  I'm right at the end of a project and I really don't want to risk the chance of something getting corrupted in an upgrade to 2009.  Somehow I thought the answer may be that it works in 2009, just haven't attempted it yet.  I have changed the properties of my room in 2008 to span from first level to second level.  The room will actually show in the second level in 2008, it will just be the same shape as the room on the first level.  I'll give 2009 a try later on.

Thank you.

As a follow up, it is very easy to do in 2009.  In the element properties of a room, there is a base offset setting which will allow the second level room to also be referenced at the first level.  Appears that wasn't covered in 2008.
