Building Pads Are Room-Bounding

When calculating the area or volume of a room, Revit Architecture now considers a building pad to be a
room-bounding element. If desired, you can turn off this element parameter. See
on page 917.

Room Boundaries in Linked Models

In previous releases, when you linked Revit models together, Revit Architecture did not recognized
room-bounding elements in the linked model. As a result, you were not able to place a room between walls
(or other elements) in the host project and walls in the linked model.
In Revit Architecture 2009, you can now make the software recognize the room-bounding elements of a
linked model. See
Placing rooms in a host project (building exterior) using walls in a linked model
(building interior)

Tag Enhancements for Rooms and Areas

In Revit Architecture 2009, you can do the following:
Use the Tag All Not Tagged tool to simultaneously tag all rooms or areas that have not yet been tagged.
Change the orientation of a tag to be horizontal, vertical, or aligned with walls or boundary lines in the
building model.
Rotate the tag using the Rotate tool.
