Rooms and Areas
Architects, designers, and structural engineers use rooms, areas, and color schemes to plan occupancy and usage of a
building, and to perform basic analysis of a design. In Revit MEP, mechanical engineers can use room-bounding information
as a starting point for defining spaces and zones for heating and cooling loads analysis.

Rooms and Areas Overview

A room is a subdivision of space within a building model, based on elements such as walls, floors, roofs, and
ceilings. These elements are defined as room-bounding. Revit Architecture refers to these room-bounding
elements when computing the perimeter, area, and volume of a room.
In Revit Architecture, you can turn on/off the Room Bounding parameter of many elements. You can also
use room separation lines to further subdivide space where no room-bounding elements exist. When you
add, move, or delete room-bounding elements, the room s dimensions update automatically.
