They picked a solution and here we are.Īnother issue we all face before we know, the where to find things can get fussy, like a Refrigerator. It might have been more appropriate to put them in the Door category and use a parameter value to filter them out of a schedule. New users for years have been clicking Door to add their newly loaded cased openings and been flummoxed when they aren’t there. At the time is seemed like an easy way to segregate them, yet when they shipped them they put them in the same folder with doors. Responding to a recent question, the Cased Opening family provided by Revit is assigned to the Category: Generic Models because many architects do not want these included in door schedules. I posted THIS in April of 2010 but it's been a recurring question for many years. Thanks to Kyle Bernhardt for the explanation! The solution here, and one that can be generally used, is to create a new Level Type to use for Plenum Levels, and explicitly set the Room Calculation Height to something like 0’ 6”, so the Space will always be cut inside of the Plenum Space. When the bottom edge of the Ceiling Element gets nudged to align with the Ceiling Level, Revit can no longer find a closed circuit. In this case, the Level type (used for all the levels) uses the Automatic setting, so Revit defaults (when dealing with the Plenum Level) to the Ceiling Level to find the Space extents when it encounters the slab at the 4' elevation. If Revit find issues, it adjusts the Room Computation Height to the Level plane instead. This really means that the default is 4’ from the Level unless Revit encounters objects in/at the 4’ level. The typical Level Types in Revit Templates set the Room Computation Height to be “Automatic”. The issue described above has to do with the Room Computation Height of the Plenum Level, which is a Level Type parameter. If it can't be done for this next release, at least give us a chance to deploy/install it at the same time? Well I'd like no such thing, bundle-em-up! One installation please, no chasing off to subscription for more goodies. I've heard that people want "their" Express Tools so they've remained where they are as a "separate and special" addition so to speak. Why those weren't just rolled up into the application years ago. I've been befuddled for decades now at the Express Tools part of AutoCAD.
I have a simple request, let's have it "in-the-box" for the next release of Revit please? Why is an integral piece of the puzzle an "extra"? The tool makes that process much simpler, if you know about it that is. Quite frustrating to have to coordinate these. I've been places though that are not and they deal with the unpleasant disconnect between Revit Architecture's Rooms and Revit MEP's Spaces, without the tool. Revit MEP users are hopefully aware of the available (via subscription only) tool cleverly called Space Naming Utility.
