I am a teacher at a middle school and am teaching Revit to 7th graders. They are working on a project were they are designing a house made of 4 shipping containers. Each containers floor space is 20ft x 8ft. The problem the students are running into is when they place their walls - both exterior and interior walls - the floor dimensions are not 20ft x 8ft or if they have a room 10ft x 8ft they end up with a smaller floor space. This has to do with the wall, but I am not sure the setting they need to have so they end up with a floor space(area) of 20ft x 8ft or 10ft x 8ft if that is what they are going for. We are very basic with Reivt so any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Teacher of furture Architectures

You question is pretty unclear. We don't know what your wall construction is so it is hard to say but when you dimension from your finish face for finish face of your INTERIOR walls just move your walls to make them the dimensions that you need them to be.

When you draw walls, you have an option for what reference to use:
- Wall centerline
- Core centerline
- Finish face exterior
- Finish face interior
- Core face exterior
- Core face interior.
If your 20x8 is finish interior, then use that reference and draw in a clockwise direction.
Room area calculations are set under the architecture/room and area pulldown / calculations / computations - set this to wall finish.

Do you mean, the space is smaller by the wall thickness and you want the walls to be placed on the outside of 20’x8’ floor perimeter. After you activate the wall tool, on the option bar (right under the ribbon) for the location line pick finish face: interior.
Also, before you click the second point when placing the wall, you can hit the space bar to flip the wall.

Here is a picture of what is happening to my students.
They would like the room on the left to have a floor dimension of 8x8 and the room on the right to have a floor dimension of 12x8.
