OK so i have a room with a round column in it. the column it's an architectural column. Its in a tight corner, and i need to room to calculate all the square footage all the way around the column into the sharp angle corner. It just wont do it. There appears to be something like an 8" gap tolerance. I cant find anything in revit 2010 that will let me adjust this tolerance. Please see image. This is happening all over the building, when the column is within about 8" of the wall, it doesn't calculate that area.

I've seen this before and as far as I know, there is no setting that will allow for it but you can turn off the room bounding for the column and get the whole area - that space included.

i understand that, but i don't want the area of the column to be included, just the rest of the area on the other side of the column.

Update:Because you cant assign a layer of gypsum wallboard to an architectural column, I also had a round wall set just inside the perimeter of the architectural column. I had those walls set as room bounding. When i unchecked that option, i got the result i was looking for. I shouldn't have to do that, but maybe revit did not like two room bounding things in the same location or the gap tolerances built into the program are different for walls vs. columns. so long story short, use the column to bound the room, not the round wall.
