Hello everybody, we are doing a lot of rather big residential projects in our office. I started to learn Revit on a residential project with about 150 units, mostly 3 or 4 rooms apartments. Today our investor told us he wants from us areas of rooms and total for units calculated including door sill. Revit calculates areas only to wall faces (or centerlines), or did I miss something? One solution for this I found, is to export room boundaries to autocad, adjust them so that they have the door sill, and "manually" get the area always at times we present some milestone.Other would be to settle some shared parameter for room for number and type of door sills and add calculated area from them in schedule (didn't try it if it is even possible)Or is there some way to know via schedule how many and what type of doors some room have and where they open, and this way somehow calculate the right answer?Or to make rectangle with room separation for special room area / door sill? Don't think this would work - any time I try to draw room separation on wall I get a warning.Or area plans? but this seems to me almost same as exporting to autocad.What would be your suggestion to solve this problem? Frankly any of my own ideas presented above make me headache:-) Areas are going to change, and project is to be adjusted according to them, investor wants his square meters, so it bothers me quite a lot, also other projects in office are sort of waiting for my "pilot project" evaluation...Thanks a lot for any tip, regards Frantisek Stafek.

You could uncheck the "room bounding" properties of your exterior walls then add room boundry lines of your own but that seems like a lot of work. I would probably go with the additional area that you were thinking of. .... on second thought, you could make all of your unit walls not room bounding and add room bounding lines to your unit groups.
