Greetings all. I thought I would put my official first post out about a hopefully not so trick problem. I recently had to do field measurements of a building for a facility condition analysis and was trying to get wall square footages in some sort of schedule. I made a model and made rooms and attempted to make a room schedule. So far so good. I have areas, heights, and perimeters, but what I need is to show the square footage of the walls for each room.There's a similar feature in ACA2008 with spaces, but again, I don't know how to get it to give me those wall area counts. I'm trying to show my company the usefulness of Revit in these types of jobs. Oh, and I'musing Revit Architecture 2008. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I tried the material takeoff option. I have a room schedule into which I am trying to incorporate more info. Primarily the square footage of the walls. I'd like to have a column for walls, floors and ceilings if possible.

Perimeter * Height maybe? Sounds like it would be easier to create this in a wall schedule or materials takeoff.

Unfortunately I am VERY new at the Revit game. I've been a cad jockey for about 15 years now, but have only been learning Revit for a few months. I tried a material take off and got WAY more info than I needed, and it was huge. I'm trying to go room by room. Mainly we do all this by pencil and paper but I figured if I can figure out how to make it do the info automatically it would save us bundles of time. On some of our trips we'll do 10 buildings a day at 100,000 sf per building. Being able to digitally do this makes sense, it's just how to make revit do it.

I think I got it. I edited the schedule. Went to Fields, then calculated value. Put in the Area option and in the field itself did perimeter*unbounded height.

That's what I did too, but i must have put in spaces or something since i got the "inconsistant units" error, or maybe i just spelled something wrong. So sounds like you just need to verify that your ceiling heights and room heights correspond.
