Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
Paweł Romaniuk has shared his workflow to take various parameters from a model, run the necessary algorithms and then write the area back to a parameter for use in a Revit schedule. Link to pdf downlo…
Revit deals in realities. The reality is, many Rooms are not rectangular. So we can forgive vanilla Revit for not having a built in tool or method that could only really ‘guess’ at X and Y room dimens…
Thanks to one of our readers, we have a solution for the schedule precision problem described here. The comment below the lines gives the formula to convert an Area into a rounded number in a schedule…
The problem – even when you use Rounding (by changing precision settings in the schedule), the totals are still calculated from the most accurate measurement Revit has available. So, for 3 areas of 4.…
Martijn de Riet has pointed out something very useful when you are trying to use a Calculated Value to pull together a bunch of similar-but-different parameters. If you come across an error, don’t for…
